Joined: 03 Jul 2009 Posts: 41 Bike: My Profile | Hi My chain was slipping (stays in same gear just slips) when pushing hard on crank. I replaced my sprocket and chain but now it still slips under pressure. Also although every cog can be found by changing gears it just doesn't sound right. Anyone help? |
