I recently took my bike apart to remove some rust and re-paint it, and ever since cleaning everything and putting it back together the chain sort of skips as soon as you put a bit of force into it. It's not the main cogs as I've put as much force as I could with the bike still and the chain didn't budge(skip).
However when I cycle, unless I go dead slow the chain kind of skips and it increases as I put more power in; the jockey wheels are quite worn down and i can move the top one by hand when the bike is still (the chain doesn't move) so I believe this is the problem but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before and what they did.
I just put a new chain so it can't be the chain being streched etc. (but it could be the fact that the cain is new so it woun't properly match upp with the worn parts) and the shifters aren't indexed so the indexing isn't an issue.
