Like you, Joe, I don't cross chain. I will use my four lowest gears in my granny gear, but generally only the bottom 2-3. With abandon, Patrick On Thursday, October 31, 2013 10:12:38 PM UTC-6, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Are you cross-chaining? You might be catching the chain on the front teeth > si

Deacon, Wipe the chain enough to lay a ruler up to it, line the zero mark up on a pin center and see where the 12" mark hits relative the nearest pin. Sage advice is replace the chain if 1/16" stretch is detected. A field-expedient that is less precise is to pull the middle of the chain wrapped

Are you cross-chaining? You might be catching the chain on the front teeth sideways-like if the bend from the granny to the smaller rear cogs is too severe. I only use the granny in the 3-or-4 biggest/lowest-gear cogs. On Thursday, October 31, 2013 3:35:22 PM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick wrote: > This

I was having the worst ghost shifts with my 1x8 set up on my Sam. A good chain cleaning (1st in months) solved it. I used the PDW chain cleaning machine, but a stiff brush and cleaning fluid does the same. Edwin "don't like to clean things much" -- You received this message because you are s

Bill, He needs to look at the chain ring teeth if they are sharp then he'll need to replace same goes for the cassette, my understanding is that the issue is throwing on a new chain with worn out chain rings and cassette teeth will result in poor shifting and destroy a perfectly good chain. `Hugh

Measure it before you replace it, though. If it is horribly stretched, you may be replacing the entire drivetrain. Chain + cogset + chainrings. If the chain is horribly stretched and you only replace the chain, a new chain might be even worse. Measure first to get a sneak preview. On Thur

Deacon, Ah yes replace chain...it's not expensive, you Scots. Grin I've had chain suck once and it was my fault starting a climb as I waited too long to gear up and feather the front derailleur. I could imagine that though you geared up at an appropriate time that the chain wasn't fully engage

Has it been 18 months on that chain? It would be worth a measurement if it has been. 24 links should be exactly 12 inches. Common rule of thumb is replace the chain every 2000miles On Thursday, October 31, 2013 3:35:22 PM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > This isn’t happening when shifting, it
