Hi Guys,
Hope your all well.
I have noticed a number of stiff/seized links in my chain, I have taken the rear wheel off and done my best to free them up some were easier than others....
I'm surprised this has happened as the chain and sprockets looked like they were quite new when I brought the bike and it gets regular (daily) use and I regularly oil the chain (holts lube). Perhaps the previous owner neglected the chain abit or its a cheap chain, not sure.
Is they anything product or process anyone is aware of which might help revive the chain abit, it would be nice to try and get a few more miles out of it as its otherwise quite unworn. Also I just purchased two new tyres and a carb rebuild kit so rather not spend another £100 on it at the moment....
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
