So I had this weird click coming from the drive train, and I could feel it through the pedals. I'm running 48/16 so it was strange that the click came every other down stroke on the drive side. (i.e. every two revolutions of the cranks)
Quickly narrowed it down to the chain. It's got one of these quick release links in it:

And it's like that link is slightly longer than all the others. When the chain is under tension and that link is coming off the sprocket, it jumps up a little bit, making the click.
Thing is, this has only started happening since I took the chain apart and cleaned it. Have I put the chain back together incorrectly?
I'm guessing I'll just need to get a new chain.
Cheers
