Chain broke while commuting the other day - I managed to repair it at the time with a quick link, but the new link seems to be catching slightly when going through the derailleur. Every 4ish rotations of the pedals there’s a very brief sound like I’m freewheeling, and the derailleur starts pulling back when in top gear, but I can’t replicate any of it when the wheel’s off the ground.

Might just be a dodgy quick link causing problems, but does anyone have suggestions while I wait for new ones to arrive?

    Definitely the right size and properly snapped together, but stiffness might be the case like enkifish suggested as well. I don’t think it’s between gears, I’ve had that issue before and it didn’t have the freewheeling sound. I’ll have a look at the channel and see if any of it helps though, thanks.
