Today on the way home, it was making an odd sound, which suddenly got a lot worse as I neared my destination, and then it snapped. Pic below.</p> <p>The question is, do I remove the link and hope the rest of it is ok? Or should I just use a new chain? I'm wondering whether I hadn't put this specific link back in properly and it's worked its way loose on the way home. Or maybe the chain was being held together with a year's worth of NEPN sludge. I know it's impossible to know for sure either way, so ultimately I'm asking... if this was your chain, what would you do?</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/qKmwDn"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7434/16243177087_70c3a5fefc.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/qKmwDn">IMG_4708</a> </p>
