The gears just won't stay. The pedals revolve and I can't get up the hill. I can hear the chain "slipping" over the teeth, or the teeth slipping through the chain. It never hits a gear at all until I switch it up one or two. My mechanic had a little gizmo shaped like a very low, squat U that he used to measure how much the chain had "stretched" and he said it was beyond the recommended amount. What can I say? I just know that I couldn't get up a hill!Grant Podelcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046561738258645391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598027769243380223.post-31102315450796901292007-11-19T14:32:00.000+02:002007-11-19T14:32:00.000+02:00Hopefully Nashbar will have better products and at...Hopefully Nashbar will have better products and attitude than Myron Global...?Captain Oddsockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171705425795102480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598027769243380223.post-87734367546170557942007-11-19T10:21:00.000+02:002007-11-19T10:21:00.000+02:00A new chain every 1000km???I've got over 5000km on...A new chain every 1000km???<BR/><BR/>I've got over 5000km on my current chain/groupset and there's no trouble with slipping. I thought the general idea was to replace the chain and groupset all at the same time. I've tried putting a new chain on an old groupset with disastrous results. A new chain simply won't sit on worn gears. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, what exactly do you mean by 'slipping'? The chain jumps to the next gear, or something else?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
