chain

I need some advice please. At slow speeds if I am in the tallest gear and apply torque the chain gets pulled off the large chainring. I think the chainring must be worn, but this does also coincide with the replacement of the BB. The bearings seem to be further inside the bottom bracket...

Hi :hello: has anyone ever adjusted there chain pusher where it's been rubbing the idler wheels? Did you just adjust the 2 screws on the front of the pusher or adjust other screws on the pusher?

Hi all, just acquired my first single speed and was wondering if the normal chain wear principles apply. Do you still replace the chain around the .75% mark? Are there any differences to the wear of chain and chainset and sprocket compared to a derailleur system? It is a flip flop hub so I have...

1. Chain skips only under force, mostly in the lower gears/larger sprockets when climbing. 2. Shifting is fine in the work stand. 3. Chain is not elongated. 4. Sprockets are not worn. The only thing I can think of now is cleaning the chainset as it's a bit mucky. My Zinn book talks about...

Me again. I chose this username well. Today, for fun, I decided to take apart the cranks and bottom bracket on the mongrel bike. Plan was to follow a YouTube video, clean everything up, replace the bearings, and get it all back together. Turns out the crank arms aren't keen to be going...

Hi all, I've lost a couple of chainring bolts because Planet Cyclismo didn't do them up to torque as I had repeatedly asked them when racing in France. Replacements are £30-40. :dry: The whole Athena Campag Carbon crankset can be replaced for £119.99 Both one normal bolt and the hidden bolt...

I collected my Giant Defy after having a new chain fitted. Went out tonight but soon realised there was something wrong. 1) .When on the big ring at the front, the chain is very noisy as I think it is robbing on the guide. 2). No matter what ring at the front or what gear on the cassette, the...

Hello I removed my chain last night to clean it and noticed that the roller from one of the ends the power link pin goes through is missing. Will leaving it cause any damage to the sprockets/chain ring? Can you buy the roller on it's own, or does the link need remove it and replacing...

Classic question relating to change up from 12-25 to 11-28 cassette and whether or not i need a longer chain. A quick test run seems to show changes all ok up to both large cog combo. Derallieur quite, but not fully, extend and chain is taught but not stretched seemingly. Check out the image -...

I am about ready to start putting my new front and rear derailleurs on along with a new chain and new twist grip shifters. I have looked at loads of youtube vids on how to do all of this but am still a little confused. Bolting on all of the bits isn't a problem it's things like, how to get the...

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive tool for removing a chain? (Preferably under £8). I made the mistake of buying this one (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321894344259?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT). The chain would not go in the slot and even if it did, the pin to drive...

Hello, am building up a Carlton Pro , when the chain is on the smallest cog on the cassette it rubs on the chain stay, any suggestions? I'm running a ultegra 9 speed 25/14 cassette, I'm thinking it could be the smallest cog of 14 is too big for the limited space / I will try a 25/12 cassette...

I bought some spare front chain rings for the 9 speed triple drivetrain on my commuter bike. Unfortunately, the parts I bought online were a bit of a mix: Sora 9 speed triple 130mm BCD 50T Tiagra 10 speed triple 130mm BCD 39T Tiagra 10 speed triple 92mm BCD 30T As you can see, the 2nd and 3rd...

View: https://youtu.be/Xm-hv5CpX1c Got some issues with a new bike and hoping somebody can help. the video shows the problem. Basically when the chain is on the three highest gears the derailleur doesn't seem to take up the slack? Would be very grateful for any input.

I'm almost done replacing the front chain rings, chain and rear cassette on my road bike, but am a bit stuck on joining the chain. It came with a pin inserted into one side of an outer link, and I'm trying to use a chain breaker to join this outer link with the inner link at the other end of the...

I completed a sportive on Sunday with some slightly odd chain slippage, nothing drastic or life-changing but enough that pricked my ears. I dropped a few cogs on the back going uphill and the chain sounded like it slipped right over the jockey wheels and then clamped back into place. And odd...

Two years ago I ran experiments testing a few different chain lubes after a regular weekly/200km degreasing and washing interval. Tests proved that no matter the lube, I still reached 0.75% wear in about 1600km. I then tried no degreasing/washing but lubing when squeaky, however that chain also...

Hi all I recently changed my rear cassette to a shimano 11-32 and put on a medium rear derailleur + new KMC chain. Everything is fine apart from one little niggle. Everything is nice and quiet except for when i'm in the 4th sprocket down; it makes that clicking noise as if it's trying to change...

Bought my bike (Specialised Roubaix SL4 Comp) a year ago and have done a little over 2500 miles so I have booked it in for a service with the LBS (which I wish to support). As I understand it the basics of the service are strip down and re-grease, cable change, index gears. Top priority is the...

While attempting to change the chain on my bike I accidentally shortened the new chain by one link less than the old one. Would it be ok to fit it or do I need to add a link on?

Can't find any identifying marks on it to work it out. I want to change the 11-28 to an 11-32 for a trip to the peak district in a few weeks and want to know if i'll need to change the derailleur. Cheers

Got a new chain on my road bike the other day as the old one was showing as being stretched as per my chain wear tool. Been out on the bike today for the first time and it seems the chain is slipping/skipping on the smaller cogs on the rear cassette (8speed) but is fine on the larger ones. This...

Ooops. When I was threading my new chain I didn't go under the little tab near the top pulley on the 105 derailleur but went around it. I didn't notice until mid ride today when some gear combinations had a lot of noise. The particular noise issues were when the larger rear sprockets were...

I run my Genesis Day One Disc (2013) with a White Industries freewheel and half link chain. The chain is now at the end of its life, I assume, because the wheel is at the very extent of the dropout so I am looking for some advice. 1) Can I remove some links from the chain and just carry on...

I'm trying to re-grease the bb on my old Raleigh winter bike, it won't budge, even with the correct adjustable pin spanner and an extension tube for more leverage...:cursing: Soaked it in "Free It" oil for a few days, but it still won't budge, so, I've ordered the better quality Park Tool...

Off in a few weeks for a 4 - 5 month tour and sorting kit to take. Last year on a 3 month tour I took some random chain lube I had, and while away bought some WD40 to clean the chain etc, and after allowing it to dry relubed it. It was OK but not wonderful. Any suggestions of best lube to...
