[Closed] Snapping chain

Hi,
I was out for a ride last night, and as I started a climb my chain snapped at the power link. No problem I thought and put on my spare. As I started my descent of Cheddar Gorge, the chain went again at the power link whilst it wasn't under load. I'm pretty sure that it had snapped together properly.
It's a fairly new chain and rear cassette ( one month old), and I've been pretty good with my shifting, and everything looks ok.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
Nick.

Full sus ? Chain growth pulling the chain too tight?

That's very likely. Cheddar is good at the moment 🙂
