So I think I will have to replace the chain soon, not due to stiff links or anything rather rust.
Bit of history!
2002 with 6k miles, of which I have done 2.5k in the last 12 months. Original chain / sprockets still fitted, did have chain surface rust when I got the bike last Feb, most of which I could scrub off. Scott-oiler fitted and the bike is garaged normally.
I can and do clean / oil the chain up regularly (as well as the oiler) however, every time I go out in anything that is slightly damp or more, the chain just about instantly rusts. The chain tensioner is about half way and no other issues that I can find with it, other than I almost sure I will have to change the front sprocket nut from the 9mm as well.
What do you think, keep or replace and if replace, any recommendations for a set?
