What are your sprokets like?

They seem alright to my Noob eyes, i cant see any real signs of wear to be honest... apart from being mostly covered in filth

Ok, one more thing to check... most probably a real stupid question...

Since its a new chain, factory oiled (its an X-ring chain), will it need oiling before use? or is it good to go straigh away?

You put the loose orings in the link while you assembled the joiner link?
The pre oil is ok for first few hundred ks

Yup, put the loose o-rings in, and lubed them up with the yellow goop they came with.. cool, so now its all on and adjusted i should (hopefully) be good to go... definitely gonna be more careful from now on!!
