I’m not positive (due to bludgeoned brain, not great memory), but I believe I experienced this issue when the Hunqapillar was new and I just chalked it up to figuring out the friction shifting. Sure enough, over time, the issue faded away, so matched my slow learning curve. Now I wonder if it went away because of chain stretch. Anyway, here’s what I’m experiencing now (with a reminder of recent history)…
New chain and granny chain ring after a very stretched out chain. The lower half of the granny gears (I don’t ride the upper half) and lower 1/3-1/2 of the middle chain ring are smooth as butter. Easy to hit the gears and no skipping. Upper 1/2-2/3rds of the middle chain ring (and likely the top two gears of the big chain ring, but I rarely ride that and haven’t since chain replacement) skips when pedaling. It’s not on the edge between gears (I can back pedal smoothly). My foot just suddenly spins fast, than catches again (not good for vertigo). I have tried: 1) fine adjustment with gear shifter, no difference; 2) tightening the shifter hand nut, no difference. Ideas: 1) bent derailleur?; 2) rear cassette needs replacement (this doesn’t make sense to me since it is only the higher gears and it’s the lower gears that get the most use and torque); 3) ??? Any ideas? With abandon, Patrick www.MindYourHeadCoop.org www.OurHolyConception.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
