JDStrials Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 when I've been riding lately my cranks and chain lock. if i peddle backwards they go back to normal. This keeps on happening in the worst of places. its not the brakes, but I have noticed that the front sprocket is on a slight angle to the cassette. could this be the derailleur or due to slight angle of the sprocket thanks a lot Jack (im not having the best luck with this bike am I) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moff Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 mate ive had the same problem if its been fine before just oil up the chain, some WD40 could do the trick. if it keeps happening just try tightening up your chain abit hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDStrials Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 i have found out what the problem was, my sprocket had bent in like three places and making the chain jump and come off. but i've only had the bike 2 weeks?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
