Any tips for freeing a stuck link on a 10-speed chain? It's not completely stuck, just stiff enough that it stays wrapped the wrong way as it comes out the derailleur when pedalling lightly and makes the chain jump.
I've been trying to work some light oil into the link to get it moving freely but no joy. In the olden days when chains had pressed-in pins you could flex the chain sideways and open the link slightly, which would almost always free it off. Can't seem to do that on a chain with flush, peened pins.
