As Cycommute said, use the quick links. I've got tens of thousands of miles on both timing and drive chains on both of our tandems, one of which is a RT3000. We have never had a failure. FWIW I use Wipperman links on the drive chain because they are MUCH easier to open up when I want to remove the chain. I use the SRAM links on the timing chain which I can remove by loosening the eccentric.
