I've just replaced my chain on my Ice sprint and found i have a twist in the chain,along the bottom, top part runs straight but bottom halve twists in the bottom tubes.I undone a link, thought i had straightened it, put a new power link in, but i have still got a twist. Can anyone advice me on...

Am all but ready to fit a new Ultegra 52-36 Chainset, in place of the Gossamer Pro 50-34. Just wondering if I desperately need to fit a new chain as there's plenty of life left in the current one? Instinct suggests that I should do it now, to go with the new chainrings, but it does seem rather...

What do you use to lubricate the chain and mech on your bike? A specific make of lubricant? 3-in-1 oil? Cheap maintenance oil? Wax? Something else? Please elaborate especially if you’ve tried a number of products and found one that works well. I looking for an effective lubricant that...

My chain got slack on my Pinnacle Dolomite singlespeed and it jumped off the rear cog into the wheel a few times. I tightened the chain by shifting the crank forward on the bottom bracket (a Pinnacle related solution) but now when I'm freewheeling I get serious clicking noises and the chain...

I’m in the market for an 11 speed chain with a budget up to about £30. There is a big choice out there so was wondering what other users favourite chains are and why? Cheers!

So on my crimbo list are oval chain rings. Which ones do I go for? Maybe just stick to the outer one first? I run ultegra groupset. Thanks in advance. :P

Hi, I'm new to riding SS. I gave my chain (which is a lot chunkier and more gold coloured than I'm used to!) a clean last night and realised that the quicklink/masterlink is different to the ones on my derailleur bikes. I had a go but couldn't work out how to split it by hand. It looks like the...

Am well aware, having reached a certain age, that there is a lot of, er snakeoil, mumbo jumbo dedicated to repackaging simple products for specialist applications such as cycling, and bumping up the price. Have seen chainsaw oil, available very cheaply from my just opened toolstation outlet at...

I recently brought this chain from Tredz https://www.tredz.co.uk/.KMC-X8-93-Chain-116L_43005.htm Listed under the 6-7-8 speed chains section. My gearing is 50-34 on the front and 11-32 on the back, 8 speed hence why I brought a chain from this section. The picture shows what they have just sent...

Just bought a Low Racer for a bit of fun in my retirement and the chain seems to be jumping on the back 9 speed cassette. It has 18 speeds so this is with the small chainwheel on the front and the first couple of rings on the back cassette. Not managed to get it into high gear yet bad enough...

Ordered and fitted a couple of wired Schwalbe Durano Raceguard tyres (700x32cm) for my CX. Noticed an odd bulge in the unworn front tyre. Assumed it was just a kink from how it was delivered (in a big bag). Have been riding on it for a bit with no issues, assumed would de-kink with time...

I have had broken chains on derailleur bicycles on several occasion, the fix is easy, take out a link and rejoin the chain and restrict gear changes to the chains usable length. Yesterday was a first while putting in a big effort to crest a short steep rise on the single speed the chain bust a...

I’ve bought a new single speed freewheel, a White Industries ENO http://www.whiteind.com/new-page But they say use a 3/32” chain only (16 tooth) I’ve recently just replaced the chain and a new chainring on the bike (both 1/8”) Will using the 1/8”chain damage the teeth on the freewheel? If it...

Hi there I bought some Fenwick’s Chain Cleaning Sponges which are really good. I’ve been using these once, then throwing them away but I’ve since been told that these can be used more than once. What is the best way to clean them? Thanks J

I am wanting to replace my worn large chain ring-Shimano 105, 50 teeth, 11 speed, FC5800 for the identical original part. The elderly guy that has the local cycle repair shop in the village felt that the replacement ring was quite expensive (cheapest I have found so far is £53.99). It has...

Well what can I say? I took my new mountain bike out to Hetchell woods today near Scarcroft and halfway up a little muddy hill the chain broke in 2 and bent.Did I have the things to fix it? no, so it was a 6.7 mile walk home.Some parts which were down hill I managed to ride down and other bits I...

Warning: what follows is terminally dull... So I've seen people mention on various threads on here about how they like to have their bike running perfectly, so that only the sound of tyre on tarmac can be heard on a ride. I'm of the same mind myself. However, while this is perfectly possible...

This has probably been documented so so many times on here. However, I am doing maintenance on my Specialized Globe so my boyfriend can use it till he has his own bike. I have sorted the tyres but the chain looks caked in oil!! I have never noticed how bad it looks before. I am obviously aware...

I've been doing some measurements in an attempt to work out what BB I need to buy for the Royal. 2017-09-03_04-08-56 by RichardB5, on Flickr In the above picture I have the chainring on the inside of the spider on what used to be a triple, and a small chainring on the outside to act as a...

'Two Parter' I bought my Ribble CGR, back in March On Sunday, I replaced the chain (as a precaution/to save cassette/chain-ring wear) I recall that the chains, on the 'blue' Ribble didn't last as long, & the cassette also needed replacement* It had (I think) 4 chains & 2 cassettes, in 3 years...

I'd recently been having trouble with my chain stuttering, slipping off teeth, particularly on the middle chain-ring. My local repair man said I needed a new chainring and chain, so I sent him the spec for the bike (Giant Escape 0). He fitted them both and said he was 'fairly sure' the issue...

Will this work? The backstory: I want to put a 50/39/30 triple on my wifes rohloff equipped trike in order to get very low gears but also high gears. Rohloff's seem to work best with 9 speed chains but there's not many 9 speed cranksets around anymore hence the question. btw Rohloff have told...

I ve had my tern link 6 months now. Generally I am very pleased with it - however twice in the last few days the chain has fallen off when getting it in/out of the car...First time the only way I could get it back on was to move what looks like a chain guide (a bit of plastic on the down tube -...

Not just olive oil but extra virgin olive oil. :smile: I couldn't find my bike lube yesterday,so i put a spoonful of the stuff on the chain and gears. It stopped the squeaking and grinding,giving a smooth running sound. Have any of you used it on your tackle and if so what do you reckon?

I have recently changed my groupset from Veloce to Potenza and am having a problem with chain noise when it is the small chainring and largest rear sprocket (34/32). Both mechs are shifting fine and there is no noise in any other chainring/sprocket combination. Also the chain doesn't look to be...

What anyone's thoughts on this, I have I gone too short? I thought I did a good job of following the clip!

Hi :hello: has anyone ever changed there chain because of chain stretch?
