Description
Off-road chains get pulled apart in the field a lot more often than road chains, whether for cleaning, length changes, or trailside repairs, which is why the R3-3 Off-Road version uses a spring clip rather than a rivet joint. The C404 is that clip-style connecting link, built specifically for Renthal’s R3-3 Off-Road SRS chain so you can service the chain without needing a rivet tool at the trailhead.
What makes this the right link:
- Sized specifically for Renthal’s R3-3 Off-Road SRS chain
- Spring clip design allows quick removal for cleaning, length changes, or field repair
- Gold finish matches the R3-3 Off-Road chain’s side plates
- Maintains the SRS seal’s sealing pressure at the joint rather than leaving a gap for dirt and water
- Keeps the connecting link as strong as the rest of the chain under off-road impact loading
Install the clip with the closed end facing the direction of chain travel and inspect it after your first ride on it, since off-road impact and vibration are exactly what walks a loose clip off the chain. This link is built for the off-road SRS chain specifically, not the road-tuned R3-3, so don’t cross the two up when ordering. IPD Racing keeps these stocked as an easy way to keep a bike running without waiting on a full chain replacement.
