Burley Django: Chain slips in first gear
Has anyone experienced this problem? I'm having trouble with dropping
the rear derailler to 1st gear (gear 2-1). Instead of setting, the chain slips instead. Does anyone know how this can be corrected? Thanks. epp P.S. - pardon the incorrect terminology if that applies here; I'm learning |

Does anyone know how this can be corrected? well we need to define slips. does it skip so you get jolts? or does it want to leave that gear? the first is usualy caused by a worn chaind and or worn cogs. the second is a simple adjsutment.

It feels like it wants to leave the gear, as if the chain hasn't fully
seated itself on the cog. Maybe it's between gears? Thanks. epp |
