Sat: Two months old (as is cassette and rings) and broke twice on Sat while under med-high load. Plates seemed to be exploding outwards if anything. Also took the liberty of snapping the pin on my Park chain tool too.

Mon: Same chain broke 3 times under med-high load within metres of each other, eventually taking the mech hanger with it. As before, plates kind of bending outwards.

Wed: Fitted new chain and the ****ing thing has gone again. Plates fine, but inner link somehow popped out without any distortion.

Shimano HG93 for the record (XT mech and cassette).

Really pissing me off now. Was supposed to be out this afternoon. Mate popped round Mon night and said he didn't see anything wrong either.

Ggrhrhrhgrhrh!
