Chain skips under load

[AndrewB]

Ah, capacity - got it. Yes, I'm sure the derailleur has capacity. I don't have clearance in the front derailleur to do something like small crank and small sprocket though without distracting horrific noises! I'll double check this though in addition to checking the chain for a stiff link.

I'm fairly certain the cassette is not over worn. My first chain was replaced in time according to the LBS. After that, I got my Park CC-2 and watched the chain wear until it got to just under .75 - and replaced shortly thereafter with the latest chain.

I don't use the small sprocket a lot to cause wear there as compared to the other gears. I'm usually in the big crank in the mid sprockets and occasionally in the small sprockets or small crank in the big sprockets.

Compact crank, that is.
