 |
|
been out twice today to put some miles in , both times the chain has jumped when I put weight on the pedals after almost coming to a stop, then going again without changing gear, cogs seem ok not worn and the chain stretch gauge shows no great stretch, gears select and change ok any Ideas? this has never happened before

in my experience providing the indexing is set correctly, the derraliers are straight and secure and there is no excessive play in the cassette bearings it usually turns out to be the cassette even though you cant see the problem. usually remedied by fitting a new chain and cassette together.
try putting the chain on to the gear that slips the most, get someone to stand on the pedal and put load on the chain, then look for daylight between the chain and the sprocket. look to see if the chain is riding up the teeth instead of sitting snugly at the bottom.

When its really worn and you replace the chain and cassette you normally find it jumps on the chainrings and you have to replace those too. |

Rule of thumb for me I have found with the GT
2-3 chains per cassette
2-3 cassettes per crank-set
Crank-sets would probably last longer by simply changing the worn chain-rings in question - but I don't pay that much for them (usually Deore) and simply changing the chain-rings isn't that much cheaper than buying a new crank-set.
Besides, they usually look tatty by this time anyway

Good formula. 
And very accurate too.

Oh and just to add to that..
I Strava every ride I do as it's a very good record of how many miles each part has done.
That way, you know well in advance when a part is due for service or replacement

I change chainring with cassette (single chainring), it certainly looks worn by the time the cassette needs doing.
