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 free-wheeling sensation but i managed to complete without further issue.
Anyway, moving onto this week I came out of a junction last night with the slipping sensation, vowed to clean the bike up last night at the same moment that the chain completely locked up on me and i went arse over tit. The remainder of the ride i was careful on the gears and noticed a little lag when clicking through - maybe cable tension? Not sure.
So, cleaned the bike up, ran the chain across the gears and lubed it good (hurr hurr). I then tightened the cable with the barrel adjuster at the front but no work on the back.
Same lag, same slipping sensation and a minor lock-up when trying to rifle through the cassette before hitting a hill.
Can someone diagnose for me?
