Hey Guys,
Replaced the chain on the old Mongoose Sycamore and everything seemed to be working fine on the bike rack, but when I took it out for a test ride it seems to be slipping a tooth or something when I shift to the smaller cassette gears(only does this when I crank down harder on the pedals). I measured the chain and put the exact length back on. The chain that was on it was worn to the 1.0 limit on the chainwear cheaker, but the cassette teeth and the chainwheel teeth looked fine.
I have a GT Talera that I did the same thing with and it is doing the same thing.
What's happening here??
Both bikes have been cleaned up and completely relubed.
Also, I replaced the chains with the Bell multispeed chains from my local Walmart.
Thanks,
PJ
