Hub starting to slip...

[Kell]

Yeah it's the grooves on the back that have rounded off. meaning the tool is useless and it's not deep enough to grab with mole grips.

I normally use Copper Slip, but sometimes there's nothing you can do.

Have you gotten it fixed? I am curious as to the cause of the gears slipping turned out to be.

 

[Kell]

Not yet.

Not had time to get to a bike shop.

But that reminds me. I think I'll order a new chain, sprockets and chainring (and some chainring bolts).

 

[12boy]

Did you ever get your slipping issue resolved?

 

[Kell]

Still unsure.

Changed the chainring, cogs, and (almost) chain yesterday.

I say almost as it looks like they've released a new chain in which the links are slightly wider, but the supplied PowerLink was too narrow to fit. So I was almost finished and went to fit the chain and couldn't.

I'll let you know when the new link arrives.

 

[Kell]

Oh - and I had to hacksaw through the chain ring to get it off.
Tried drilling the chainring bolt out but that didn't work.
