Do you clean you chain with some sort of non toxic cleaner/degreaser
like the citrus based products or simple green ? Because those
can leave acidic deposits that will accelerate oxidative corrosion.
That's what I'm saying, the links all still move freely and the chain runs fairly quietly.
Come to think of it I did last wash my drivetrain with dish soap and water. That not did work out too well so I've since switched to a bona fide degreaser. I'm in the process of cleaning/re-oiling my chain now, we'll see if the problem stops.
