Hello,
I wanted to wax (squirt) my chain roday and surprize my chain was rusted…. Last week i checked the chain it was ok and during the weekend it just rusted….
Have sombody faced this kind of issue, and whats the solution to remove the rust?
Is chain rusting covered by warrenty?
Thank you

I think you’re okay. Time to degrease, and then lube.
Chain rusting covered by warranty? WTF, of course not. You need to wipe water off the chain before stopring it or even better get a better quality chain that wont rust (as fast). You should be fine though. Try riding this chain for a few km and see if it works. Some or most of the rust will be gone.
Take a rag and wipe it down. The rust should come off pretty easily, as it’s just on the surface and won’t affect the performance.
Ideally, you should always get the chain dry after a wet ride and apply a new coat of wax. That’ll prevent this.
Looks more like a dirty, waxed chain! Boil twice and re-dip, ride on…..
