Ha ha, great photos. My derailleur ices over like that every time. I think I am going to try hosing the gears down with mold release to see if that helps.

Please kindly elaborate. I too get confused with the orientation because even if you flip that link so that the slotted hole is behind, the one on the opposite side still ends up at the front of the chain’s direction of travel.that chainlink looks like it I the wrong way around....
Arrow showing the way to lock link in place nothing to do with wheel direction , merry XmasPlease kindly elaborate. I too get confused with the orientation because even if you flip that link so that the slotted hole is behind, the one on the opposite side still ends up at the front of the chain’s direction of travel.
Unless of course the orientation has something to do with which side of the chain link is facing the cassette upon that would be ‘ramping-up’ onto the next larger cogs.
That being the case I would’ve thought the way it shows on the picture would be the correct way?
So confusing for me...

I'm an old grumpy so and so , if it goes on the wrong way it usually takes me a few days mm or is it weeks to see it but probably feel it before i actually see it especially in the dark cold winter then it's too cold to sort ah roll on spring.In my head, maybe I over simplified it when I saw it... but if the arrow is supposed to point in the direction of chain travel, then it should be pointing up ? The chain travels up through the derailleur to the cassette ? - in the northern hemisphere anyway
Though there is the old timers snow trick of running your chain the wrong way round to create more friction and help with de-icing .... (made that up) ...
Thank you for the very kind Christmas spirit in your reply, and blessings to you too in this holiday season.Arrow showing the way to lock link in place nothing to do with wheel direction , merry Xmas
