I think I made a mistake by not replacing the chain at the beginning of winter. My thinking was that I only have a few weeks at best of riding, then the bike will get a new chain while waiting for spring. Winter turned out to be very mild, so I kept riding 3-5 days per week. And each week I'd say to myself that no need to replace the chain when the new will get salted on the next day.
Last weekend I finally replaced it and it turned out that the old chain was stretched by a length of 2 links! The new chain skipped a bit on one of the cogs, but this has settled down. The cogs are corroded anyway, but maybe they'll fight through one more winter before replacing.
