Hi all,
I just swapped out my chain for the first time ever and it went worryingly well….until I span the wheels to check it .
There's a clicking sound, as per the video, every couple of pedal turns and it seems to be when the quick link on the chain passes through the front mech.
What can I do to sort it or have done something elementary and daft….or neglected to do something?
Any help greatly received.

Post a close up picture of your quick link.
When I had something like this it (the quick link)just wasn’t clipped in properly. Maybe also check if it’s the right size for the chain.
Looks like the quick link isn’t seated properly. Every time it comes around the chain ring you get that click.
If you hold the rear break and then put forward pressure on the peddles it should click the quick link into place
Is your master link installed correctly? Is it even the correct master link?
Because the drivetrain only has problems when the master link releases from the chainring, it’s safe to assume the problem is stemming from the master link.
Thanks everyone!
It was indeed the quick link not seated properly and the advice above to push on the pedal whilst applying the rear brake did the trick.
Many thanks again, much appreciated 👍
