sprockets the chain seems to slip a tooth. It does it randomly, not
just when i'm putting a lot of pressure on it. I can't get to the
bikeshop now until after new year. I went on to Sheldon Brown which
said it's either a worn chain, which it obviously isn't or bent
deurailler, which it isn't. Any ideas as to what it could be.New bike = cables settling in (possibly). Tighten the cable a quarter
turn at a time at the rear mech adjusment screw. Test to see if the
bike shifts smoothly.My new bike used to skip, mainly on the smallest 2 rear cogs, and I thought
I had a dodgy rear casette, but I finally adjusted the cable tension and
that fixed it.
If it's new wait until after new year and go back to the shop. Don't
mess with stuff if it's their responsibility to fix it.
Hell it's only a day or two, can't you use an old bike or just make do?
