So anyone got any idea about why a bike would do something funky with it's chain all of a sudden when it's been a model citizen before hand? It'd been lubed that morning. It's not that long since I last cleaned it so it's not gunked up. The rear derailleur was in fairly good adjustment although it could have been tweaked a little to get into easier gears a little easier. Can sticking links make the chain do crazy stuff? I might need to check them. Wonder whether that damn removable link played a part?
FWIW I think sticking links can cause this, my rear swingarm on the MTB has some nice gouges!
Is your damn removable link on the right way? some of them are directional..!
