Good day, As you might know, parts wear out, some faster than others, some never... I have some of my parts since 2007. Worn part obviously replaced when they break, others still working fine for me, like the rear and front derailleurs, chain rings, sprockets, discs etc. Chain rings: Damaged on some of the big chaining teeth, but never missed or slipped a gear. The others still look fine. Chain: Stretched, needs replacement anyhow so I went into mud and water with it. Rear deralleur: Replaced wheels, still working fine My problem now is the following: (Problem occurred after the muddy ride) They chain hops on all three chain rings if power is applied. Put a spare chain on (also old but not as stretched as the Fu*&ed chain) and it hops less. Is hopping on the front chain ring due to an overstretched chain? What is the symptoms of a stretched chain? thanks
