MissionMan Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Just serviced my bike and fit a new xtr chain on a xt groupset. The chain was replaced before it was due ito wear and tear, so I didn't expect need to replace cassette ... Now, on a stand all the gear shifting is perfect, but on a ride as soon as a add tension to the chain, in the granny gear small ring combo, the chain sounds lik when you are riding in sabie during muddy raining season and then the occasional chainsuck occurs. Gear setup and cable tension is 100%, so all I can think must be new casette ... Yes? But if so why if the chain was replaced before due time?
Christopher Brunsdon Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Well the going rate is three chains to a cassette. Double check your chain and see if their are any tight spots. Perhaps some lube will help.
MissionMan Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks I'm on the third one now ... Will check chain link flex and also the quick link type perhaps
