    Replace it immediately with a new chain.

    RMA it to the manufacturer or return it to the place you bought it.

    I presume you are not cross chaining as you pedal?

    Even cross chaining, a new chain shouldn't fail that quickly unless you cross chained constantly when on the bike and cycled hundreds of miles in the last few weeks.

    Do you know if the chain is breaking at the same point each time (difficult to tell unless you marked the point where it broke first time) but guessing it possibly is and the pin is damaged or not being fully/correctly fitted?

    Is it too short? (..and not able to get onto the largest ring at the rear).

    No length is right also tbh can't tell if it's in the same breakage place however I really inspected and it looked fine to me after first break.

    Didn't think SRAM chains were campag compatible, not sure whether this would have any effect.
