checking chain tension

[the Ferret]

I never had any tight links but are the same ones tight over and over again and what do you do about it when you find one?

Dean I've never seen a stiff link, become un stiff on a modern bike. In the old days, you'd take out the master link, remove the chain and soak it in a pan of warm oil and work the link back and forth to loosen them up, but generally once it " kinks" as they call it, the chain must be replaced.
