Why does my new bicycle chain skip when I pedal to hard? |
I had a new bicycle chain put on a month ago and it skips when I am in th ehard gears. If the chain skips the teeth on the gears, then go back to the shop where you had the work done. Tell them to fire the orangutan working in the back, fix the chain length, and give you a water bottle or something for your troubles. Make sure that the teeth on the gears have not been worn down because of their incompetence. They should have done a test ride before returning it to you. If the chain skips from one gear to the other when you pedal hard, then check the alignment of the derailleurs. You may need to adjust the cable tension on that derailleur. is it loose, scooby.doo. It's loose or the sprocket is not a good one. You need one with good teeth. needs oiling or lubing ! It usually means that the chain is slightly longer than what is needed. Take it back to the shop, tell them what is happening, and ask them to remove a link, possibly two. that will solve it i think ur cycle chain is loose |
