My utility bike, a Specialized Crossroads. I have fitted my own crank, cassette and chain to convert it to 27 speed. I have an issue when in the smallest cassette ring. When turning the drive train in that gear, regardless of what chain ring I am in, the chain 'slips' on the smallest cassette ring Its the same when the bike is on the work stand or being ridden. I have done everything I can think of to sort out this issue. The chain line is fine, I have changed the cassette, I have changed the chain, and changed the length of the chain. I even changed the wheel, I've changed the rear mech, and the jockey wheels. I twiddled the 'adjust screw' on the rear mech both ways. No matter what combination I use, the chain slips when on the smallest cog. I have actually given up and used the limit screws to change it to a 24 speed set up. I've always been able to sort out gear issues, for myself and others, and always believed I had a good understanding of the problems that can be encountered, but this has baffled me. I chose to post this thread just to see if anyone has also had any sort of issue, to which there seems to be no solution ?
