PieterL Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Hi Guys I have replaced my casette and chain on saturday. Both now brand new. For some reason the chain slips on 7 to 9th gear, under pressure. I run 3x9. Both chain and casette XT. Any advice as to a cure? Regards
droo Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Either your cable tension's out, your hanger's bent, your chain's the wrong length, you're cross chaining, or you got sold a lemon. But without seeing the bike I can't tell you which one it is. Shangri la 1
Dicky DQ Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Or the chain blades are also worn and you will find that those are the gears you stomp the most power out of. I had a similar issue and could not believe it was the front chain blades, all three of them. Hairy 1
Zula Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 None of the above. You have a stiff chain link. Give them all a good checking. Pop out the rotten one and relink.
Sepia Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I had the same problem. Tried all the above but to no avail. It has eventually come right after about 150 kms. Strange? _David_ 1
MeridaHFS Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Probably the stiff link that eventually wore some play in and settled down.On the OP's post - check you front chain rings. Had a similar issue not long ago and also thought only my cassette and chain was a gonner but eventually replaced the suspect one and problem solved!
_David_ Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I had the same problem. Tried all the above but to no avail. It has eventually come right after about 150 kms. Strange? + 1 had the same problem with a brand new XT cassette and chain came right after a couple rides.
Cornerz Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I have replaced my casette and chain on saturday. Both now brand new. For some reason the chain slips on 7 to 9th gear, under pressure. I run 3x9. Both chain and casette XT. Easy way to check if it is the chainring is to see if it slips in your biggest ring - it receives the lowest torque so will be least worn.

Mojoman Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 + 1 had the same problem with a brand new XT cassette and chain came right after a couple rides.Same with a new deore cassette and a Sram chain. Took a couple of rides. Its almost as though it needs to bed in again?
Alouette3 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Could also be old or worn cable housing, or cable... Shifting problems can be a dark art at time! Edited March 18, 2014 by Alouette3
Paul Ruinaard Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 front chainrings - i had a similar problem. How old are they?
