chain related?
the 3500 mile-old chain on my commuter bike has been slipping off every time
i put much torque on the pedals, like when standing on a start or hill. i thought this would happen because of wear on the chainring and not the chain but the chainrings look ok to the eye. i tried cleaning the chain and adjusting the FD and RD very carefully also the hight and low screws but this did not help. any ideas? thanks. -alan |

RE/
the 3500 mile-old chain .... slipping off ... any ideas? Chains are consumables - like brake pads. Google up something on measuring chain wear....it's simple, and I'll bet the thing's way past replacement time - and it'll eventually toast your cog if that's the case. -- PeteCresswell |
