Exclamation Re: 1/2 links for bicycle motor chain

I would NOT use half links. I bought one at a local bike shop (was 415 size) and the half link looked a slightly bigger than the rest of the chain. I did not initially give this any thought.. until I noticed it was getting caught on the motor (tight space) and ended up bending/ripping another master link.

I would just get a few master links to keep handy and use those.

the most reliable way to adjust and use your tension I have found and I have tried everything to the tune of two new rear wheels. Is to adjust for the motor chain then add the tensioner to the bicycle chain.
