Hey I'm looking for a new chain as my Squire is started to get a bit long in the tooth. The cover has all but disintegrated and it's started to scratch my bike wheels when using it.
Anyway I've been looking around at what seems to be the best and a few things keep popping up but I've got my eye on the Oxford beast 22mm with the Oxford beast lock. It's on offer st the minute for £202 for both which is great, I'm just wondering if a 20kg 22mm link chain is going to be a bit overkill? My current squire is only a 14mm chain and has always done the job so I'm wondering if it would be better to just stick to one of a similar size? Also means I wouldn't have to get a new ground anchor
But then the Oxford one is sold secure diamond rated so I'm thinking it might bring the insurance down a smidge ?♂️
Anyway does anyone have any input/advice that may help me choose which is the best option?
(Edit: fair point sharpie ??)

| Possessed '03 Foxeye? Revs |

Hi all!
Apologies for the clickbait title but I fear my bike made need some sort of exorcism as i'm pulling out my already balding hair with this one.....
I have an '03 foxeye, sub 18k miles, ridden daily (commuting from Bristol to Bath) since January with no problems.
Until yesterday... while accelerating fairly hard on a dual carriageway when the revs just dropped off like it was low on power but only temporarily! Not a misfire, just low power temporarily.
It happened at about 9k revs, dropped to about 7k revs then picked back up to around 8k. "Strange" i thought...
Until today! when, as if by some strange occurrence... the opposite happened! Increased revs while accelerating (as though a slipping clutch) then back to normal. I was nowhere near he clutch and hadn't used it in quite some time!
I feel i should add it doesn't hunt on idle and this is an intermittent fault.
To add more detail, I did an oil change at the weekend (let's not get into oil chat!) It di need a top up while I was riding after the change when the oil light came on so I topped it up a little. No more light. Could it be this? I feel this is fairly circumspect...
I also, to be safe, uprated the front sprocket this evening as I knew if had the older skinny one on there as i thought it might be spooling there but the nut I removed was tight like a tiger when I took it off.
So the bottom line is, I think my bike is possessed, does anyone have any suggestions as to what it may be and how to rectify it???
Failing that, does know any priests who do call outs to Bristol?
