Ed, it's brand new, has had the original factory grease/oil removed, before using a proper lube in the perfect amount. It was re-oiled about 10 miles before it went this time, and it is less than 300 miles old.
Is that not properly maintained?
The snow appears to have got clogged in the chainrings and forced the quick link into the cage of the front mech.....in other words, just shit luck.
