Chain slipping

[Mushroomgodmat]

Not to much of a big deal, but it's happened a few times in the last few days (its probably only going to get worse though)

It seems to happen most when I'm putting force on the pedals (like when the lights go green and im getting upto speed, or I'm overtaking another cyclist)

The chain never comes off, just jumps.

Anyone have any tips?

Cheers!

It's time for a new chain and probably a new cassette if you have been running a worn chain for to long.

You should change your chain before it ruins the rest of the mechanics

I had a chain "slip" develop on a old tandem that we bought second hand... ah I thought, and went out and bought new freewheel ... only to find the problem was actually worn out chain rings. The outer was fine, but was hiding fairly catastrophic wear on the middle & granny

New chain and cassette time. If this doesn't fix it, need to follow Ppete's advice

As others have said a new chain and cassette is the most likely requirement but also check all of the chain rings, even if they are not slipping any wear on those teeth could damage a new chain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just had this, a new chain on after winter, and slipping on my 3 favorite gears. New cassette and all back to normal.

Thats cool, cheers for your help guys.

But gutted it needs a new chain/cassette though...mind you, it's gone a good 2000miles
