Default Don't try a Clarks quicklink

I broke one yesterday. One of the pins snapped where the groove is that
fits into the side plate. 2000km. Back to a Connex quicklink.

I seem to remember that SRAM had problems like that once. I think that
they blamed it on faulty heat treating but they seemed to have
corrected it as the SRAM links that I've used were all right.

A mate who runs a LBS told me the SRAM ones are to be used once only,
according to the printed packet.

I put an old Connex link on.
