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 was sorted.
I've only been able to test the bike today (some days after the repair-man left the back back) but I now have similar issues on all chainrings.
Before I re-engage with the repair-man, I need to know if his having fitted a Shimano chain (114 links), instead of the original KMC X10 (114 links), could be causing the new issues.
