chain slippage again

Change the cassette. Had one that slipped in 4th and
5th. I changed it with what I had on hand a roadie one,worked fine. You
should count out the links of the old chain and match that number with
the new chain. Then go from there. Also the loop housing at the rear
derailleur makes problems too. Changed the rear derailleur from a
Shimano to a Sram. After tuning it in the housing was to short and
wouldn't shift right. So I cut a longer housing and the chain would jump
from 4th to 6th and then to 8th. So I shortened thehousing alittle and
it worked ot fine. Also make sure there are no frozen links in your
chain, this will make a chain slip.

Hi,

Iposted a message a few weeks ago on 'chain slippage' whereby the
chain of my mountain bike slipped around the chain set in certain
gear combinations.

The general consensus was that this was due to worn teeth on the
chainset, a worn chain, and/or a worn cassette.

However, since this time I've changed the chain set and the chain,
and the cassette is less than a year old.... but its still
slipping....!

I've tried altering the angle that the rear derailleur sits at, this
has had a slight effect, but not much. The only other thing I can
think of is shortening the chain. I've taken out 2links so far and
this has made an improvement, but do you think I should take more out?

Check to see if your derailleur hanger isn't bent. With a 9 sp setup it
doesn't take much of anything being out of whack to screw up your shifting.

Also check your rear housing loop. Look for binding, kinking especially
under the little rubber boot where the housing goes into the derailleur.

The rest, I've just wasted.

I have a book on adjusting chain length. I can't remember exactly, but you
shift to the smallest cog and smallest chainring (or opposite that), then
the derailleur arm should be straight up and down. When I put my compact
on my road bike, I started with removing two links, and the chain was
slipping. I took out one more link and it quit. Given that, I'd take one
more link and see if it gets better. You might also check to make sure you
have the right chain?

PS - I'm very much an amateur...

He's probably riding his bike, but will return with the usual barrage
as he always does.

Easy done, more the easier. And the best over the pro
chain tool is my Ritchey C.P.R.5 chain tool.Just done this at 8am due
to slippage in the two smallest cogs.
