KNOBIS! Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hi everyone, Ive just got my first trials bike this afternoon (A Mad Pase 1.2). I took it out for a spin this evening and it was all going brilliantly until i was in the middle of busy town. Every time i pedal the bike like slips in and out of gear.. Like the rear derailleur is pulling it out of gear I ended up walking home as any form of up hill i could not pedal without the chain trying to come off. If anyone can help please do! Any advice or ideas will be hugely appreciated.. Thanks, Aaron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Set the gears up properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Even better idea is to get a single speed kit ordered an do away with the gears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Try adjusting the screws on the derailleur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwarf Shortage Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 In the highest cog the hanger is actually hitting the spokes Did you hit your derailleur? Might've bent your mech hanger. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/derailleur_hangers/mech_hanger_1_k_type/c66p71.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyBox Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Dwarf Shortage is correct as i bought one and the mech hanger was bent pretty badly on my 1.2 that i bought recently. also i noticed that 2 of the teeth on the sprocket were partially missing and so i sent it off to get a new one which wasnt quite as bad but still had the same issue but as it wasnt slipping ive kept it. You're gonna wanna get rid of that derailleur pretty quick as i still have mine and as ive only started its taken a few hits and that has affected it a fair bit so you're going to at least need to buy this Sprug Tensioner and get the large one to get a decent gear ratio.

MagnusT Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Hi, I also recomend you singlespeed with tensioner. Any way have a look at this link it tells you how to service almost everything on a bike, just click on the bike at the part you are interested in (derailleur) and go to the right heading (rear derailleur adjustment) after that. It tells you all about how to set up the derailleur. Good luck http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help Edited June 18, 2011 by MagnusT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tioz Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Just went single spped today on my phase 1.3 and oh man the bike looks better..I'm off to ride it now and see how it is! I'd recommend it..here is a picture of how it looks Uploaded with ImageShack.us My gears slipping were because of the bent dropoff I think Edited June 18, 2011 by Tioz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyBox Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 My gears slipping were because of the bent dropoff I think it seems that they cant make bikes properly by the sounds of it. the clamp on the stem (i'm not sure of what its called but where the bars are) had a small defect that meant one of the bolts didnt do in straight and when i tightened it up it damaged the thread. i had another problem with the right crank as well and i can't put it all the way on the bb without the bashring clipping the frame. i didnt realise until i had to re-fit the sprocket. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurlyBox Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 yeah it would have been much easier and quicker. im guessing now you have to wait a few days to get it back too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNOBIS! Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I did try to do it myself but it was waaaaaaay too bent for me to get back to normal. I now have it back and when i went into the shop to get it back i was told that the front chain ring was rather bent to -.- Winstanleys bikes..? CRAP! No pedals.. No quick release.. and 15 quids worth of damage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyBox Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 i must admit winstanleys dont seem to be too great with their bikes but i did get pedals with the bike and also i did have quick release too. i heard they werent too reliable with deliveries as in posting things and the time it took to recieve their items but it seems they are unreliable in general. also my mech hanger was fairly badly bent but a clamp worked fairly well with me... it was a little awkward though. i guess i was fairly lucky with my buy which makes a change. Also if i was you i would tell winstanleys about it if you havent already and see what they say about it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarf Shortage Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Winstanleys bikes..? CRAP! This is a general consensus reached by 98% of people who deal with Winstanleys, every time someone asks about them most of the replies will say 'Well, they're shit.', but there's one or two people who used Winstanleys and got their stuff pretty quickly, so they'll think they're great. It's a lot cheaper than anywhere else, but there's the risk of 'am I actually going to get what I order if I use Winstanleys?'. The money you've spent on repairs and pedals isn't really going to bring the price up to a full RRP for a phase 1.2. I think the main reason for people not getting stuff was the guy who owns Winstanleys doesn't update the website, so it always says everything is in stock, but the actual warehouse doesn't have it.
