grant_hundley Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Probably down to worn sprockets, best thing to do would be replace the sprockets or you can leave it and the chain should stretch a bit and stop skipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Limbo (Trials Chimp) Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I did this thinking that the old cog didnt seem that bad but had the exact same problem. Had to go and buy a new cassette to sort it.If you have another cog to try see if that runs, if thats fine then the other one must be worn.
