new chain for TT250

DID makes both a clip-type and rivet-type master link for that series chain. I'm not sure which it ships with. Maybe both? The clip-type makes for an easier installation, but the rivet-type is more secure, at least when riveted properly it's more secure. The downside to the rivet-type is that if you change gearing often back and forth from on-road to off-road gearing, and that gearing change requires a change in the chain length, you have to replace the rivet-type every time. They're a one-shot deal.
