...looking stupid!!

I got a Gt Aggressor about a week ago. Today when I was oiling the chain I noticed that one of the links does not appear to move like the others (it doesn't move at all)... is this normal or do I need to take it back to Halfords? I have tried lubricating it, but it is stuck fast. :?

    it will be a stiff link.

    not too hard to fix by waggling it. or backing the pins off with a chain tool, BUT this should be sorted by Halfords. will take seconds so wait and watch.

    In the meantime have a read of Parktools, linky below, and it will help you if you wish to sort it yourself.

    Or, depending on how clued up your local Halfords are, insist on a new SRAM one as the one they supplied obviously doesn't work. :wink:
