John planet x Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) Hey, today i was out on me bike, and my chain was skipping around, it was alright for just hoping around (well i thought) until i went off a wall and killed my shin and had to go to hospital :/The alignment seems alright to be honest, doesnt really skip or nothing when you just spinning the pedals. But when you put pressure or just cycle in a line, the chain on the rear cog sorta gets pulled up into the air type thing :/.I run on the back a 14t cog (1 week old ish) and 16t on front (same age) , and a ti bash. The cog is a fairly cheap one, and i baught a king cog that should come next week that im putting on in replacement. Im using a sora mech to tension the chain, and using a KHE chain (put on friday and this is sorta the result, but it happened before on the kmc cool but just not as much). The chain is fairly short, not uber but not big.Any suggestions to a sound setup that i wont kill myself with, im ordering shin guards this week .

robonatomz Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 try it again with your new cog, if it still slips tyr a chain, if you still bashin you balls then replace you rear cog aswell thatway you gotta have got rid of the problem.i have bike's like that in the shop i work in all the time it is just a case of "trial" and error!

scott-mad Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 when i was running single speed with a mech this happened alot to me as the tension was crappy on it. maybe the mech is abit dead? im not sure as havnt seen it oviously. also another problem i had was stiff links in the chain i was running at the time, it kept skipping over?hope i may have helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't skipped since . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
