  1. Hello,
    I'm having problems from a ratcheting sound coming from my gears. Mainly when i'm in my to lowest gears front and back ( idk if theres a proper term to identify those gears). Any ideas on whats causing this ratcheting noise.

    Thanks

  2. Sounds like you are cross chaining. Google it and see if that is the problem.

  3. That is most likely, though if the cassette (gears) are old and worn along with the chain that could be leading to a slight skipping (ie the chain isn't setting on the gear properly). This would also make a funny sound.

  4. A visit to the LBS will get this fixed quick smart 😉
