Re: Hard to fix
I trust you have new cables and housing and that they are routed properly without kinks and tight bends?

Our bike shops will never fit a new chain without changing the cluster and often the chainrings to, The reason is the chain and the cluster sort of wear a definite pattern and then the new chain does not track properly, I did the experiment I first replaced the chain and had the same results as you did then I replaced the cluster and filed the teeth on the chain ring and hey it worked. On this bike I’ve tried a new method i, ve changed the chain on 1000km,well before wear and tear became obvious and I’M about to swop it back on as the new chain has done 2500km,i was supposed to do it on the 1000 mark, the theory is that they will wear relatively even.Therby not having to change the cluster and chainrings. |
