I have a Kona Dew (commuter).
It has an 8 speed Sram chain with a Powerlink link.
I am getting a clicking noise when peddling even up a gradual incline- in every gear.
It seems too, that it clicks more when I have ridden for say a 1/2 hour.
Front derailleur is adjusted properly-no clicks there.
I took a close look at the chain (about a year since installed), and the Powerlink has a little more side play to it then all the other links in the chain.
Could this be the source of the click or is it normal for a Powerlink link to have a little play? Or should it have the same amount of play as any other link in the chain?
I would say that I oil my chain about every two weeks and wipe it with a rag after every other ride.
Suggestions/advice is appreciated.
