I find that backing off the chain tension a bit can help. And second all the good comments on cleaning and lubing. Particulalrly in this bloody weather.
Get inside, get some beer, put the tour on itv4 and then get cleaning that chain. Mmmmmm, bliss. Paraffin is for wusses. Use a cue tip and soap made from coal tar.
(some of the above is bad advice)
