Depending on what is “completely rusted”, the chain is now garbage. So if it’s so is.

Otherwise you can try to rub the rust with a rag and then oil the chain. Let in, move chain (at least touch and release each joint by force), oil again. When used regularly, the grate goes away again.

The stupidity of trying with water is that water and fat are known to repel. Speak as long as the chain is wet, you won’t be able to fat it.

Conversely, the chain cannot therefore also be frozen. You’re telling yourself that you’ve put the chain down, so no water can be pulled into the cracks. So nothing can be frozen.

rub the rust with a dry old cloth (old t-shirt). Then rub oil on the rags and further clean. Ready. But can take a while until the chain looks good again.

You need a new chain, the water has also penetrated between chain bolts and rollers and it is now also rusty. You never smashed your necklace and that’s the result.

Then you took a bad lubricant.

Isn’t there anything about the temperature?

Cold even leads to chain fat/oil becoming stronger and more resistant to weather influences.

But at several weeks’ standstill in winter weather, the best lubrication does not help.

A new chain costs children’s birthday, getting a kick off to make the rusted necklace again is simply not worth it.

Exchange, regularly spray with chain care.

Loan a pin cutter, kneif the chain and throw it away. Then put on a new chain.
