Troubleshooting
Chain appears weak or links are spreading
Ensure the chain is not overloaded beyond its intended capacity and that fixings are secure. Inspect links for any signs of stress or damage.
Rust or corrosion developing on the chain
Wipe the chain clean and dry. Minor surface rust can sometimes be removed with a soft cloth. For significant corrosion, consider replacing the chain.
