New Landy new life Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I had an annoying Jump/ Tick on my drive train - new Bike February 2015 (Giant Trance 2) After a muddy race in Darling last weekend I cleaned the chain thoroughly and found one of the small rollers in one link was gone! Do I replace the whole chain or can I just go get a couple spare links and pins at my LBS
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I had an annoying Jump/ Tick on my drive train - new Bike February 2015 (Giant Trance 2) After a muddy race in Darling last weekend I cleaned the chain thoroughly and found one of the small rollers in one link was gone! Do I replace the whole chain or can I just go get a couple spare links and pins at my LBSA quick link won't replace the roller. All it has is a pin to fit through the hollow part of the roller. 10sp or 11? I may have a spare couple of links (incl rollers) in my spares bag at home... You can just pop the roller in to the spot that's lost it, and use a quick-link to complete the chain again. Alternatively - how is your chain? Can you afford to take a link out of it?
Skinnyone Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 If you have lost a roller then there is a reason, either the chain is worn it wasn't there from the get go...rather replace the whole chain...

droo Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 If the roller's fallen out anywhere other than the quick link, that chain is beyond dead. If it's at the quicklink it's still suspect. I have a box of spare links if you don't find something closer.
New Landy new life Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 This is what my missing roller looks like below.Have not done enough mileage I don't think to wear the chain. I thought maybe I struck a rock on my chainring and split the roller? It is a 10 speed bike

New Landy new life Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 Sorted - chain was apparently not worn. Now for a 70 km test ride Saturday in Robertson - Yikes, what have I done!
