Cheers guys.
I didn't break the chain, and it feels stiff evenly round, so I'm pretty sure it's not a stuck link.
Wheel alignment and chain tension are fine, I've taken the wheel off and put it back on. I don't have a back brake and the front isn't rubbing.
Hahaha, I did consider headwind but I'm sure it's not that as I can feel when it frees up even when there is wind.
Checked how the wheel was rolling and it did feel a bit gritty, but they're shit hubs and they've never run amazingly. Would be odd that it coincided with cleaning my chain though...maybe I'll try overhauling the hub this weekend and see if that helps.
