hi all
riding to work yesterday i felt a bit of a vibration / knocking on my footpegs " when i got to work i had a good look and noticed a kink in my chain and it was stuck in a twisted positon i spent about two hours trying to completly free it and it would be ok for a short while then it would go back to twisted again. iv always used good oil on it" and never let it go dry and always clean it regular . i dont have a chain spliter to take of completley and have a good look but the chain from what i can see looks good apart from this one joint" the gaps look the same " so i dont think its been streached and there is no play when i try to twist the other way its nice and tight " so im wondering now weather its just a bad link or is it because the chain has done close to 13000 miles and is now on its way out.
any advice on best thing to do
