"And it is in the smallest cog on the cassette in the largest chain 
ring.  That's where I do most of my riding - probably 70% of the

I must've misread it then.  I see that telling me smallest cog on the 
cassette in the largest chain ringprobably 70% of the time.  

I agree 70% of the time in the large chainring (mine's a 44) is not 
controversial.  But I use my 44x11 less than 1% of the time.  If I used my 
44x11 for 2700 miles my knees would be gone, and that 11T cog would be 
shot.

[RBW] Re: New chain skipping

2012-04-17 Thread Mojo
Ah ha! You ride in this smallest cog most of the time! Take another look 
but the back side of the teeth on that cog are most likely cupped 
(increasing slope of the tooth until it becomes an overhang near the top). 
This is good news as buying a new final cog is easy and much cheaper than a 
whole cassette. This is also bad news as you are riding in your biggest 
gear all the time. Something is wrong here. You either need much higher 
gearing, or more likely, your leg speed is really slow and you need to 
learn to use your gears more efficently. You want a leg speed of something 
at or greater to 70 rpm on the flats, 90 rpm is better.

He said 70% of his time in the big ring, not in his highest gear.  If
your big ring is geared low enough, for example a 46 or 48T, you might
not have to shift to a smaller chain ring until you need a gear lower
than 50 inches or so.

2012-04-17 Thread William
I mean this in the nicest possible way, but unless I'm misunderstanding 
something terribly, there's no way you should be spending 70% of your time 
riding in your highest gear.  It makes my knees hurt just thinking about 
it.  You should be trying to ride in approximately the 90-100RPM range. 
 "Spinners" might tell you higher.  "Mashers" might tell you lower.  90-100 
is a good medium.  If I was riding in my highest gear at 90RPM, I'd be 
going 30MPH.  I use my highest gear much less than 1% of the time. 
 Completely separate from drivetrain wear, I recommend you get some advice 
on that front.  Focussing on drivetrain wear, if you ride 2700 miles on a 
single 12 or 11 tooth cog, it's probably worn out.  Replace.

I tried looking at the cog but I can't tell much.  I'm not very
mechanical.  I'll look at the chainring too.  It wasn't knocked out of
adjustment because I watched him install it.  I checked the master
link.  It looks ok.  It may be the derailleur but I have friction
shifters so I wouldn't think it was that.  I'm not going to make any
adjustments.  I'll take it back to the LBS to check.  It's not very

And it is in the smallest cog on the cassette in the largest chain
ring.  That's where I do most of my riding - probably 70% of the

Check your chainrings.  That was the problem I had, once.  Replaced
the chain.  Replaced the cassette.  Finally took it into the shop.
Head mechanic: "did no one look at your chainrings?"

Bleriot's chainrings (13500+ mi) are starting to look suspect, but
nothing is skipping... yet.

If it is the smallest cog only, then the stiff link hypothesis has a point in 
its favor, as the stiff link will be most obvious on the smallest cog, which 
has the tightest curvature.

You can generally buy a small cog for your cassette if it turns out to be worn. 
Seems unlikely, because most people don't ride many miles on the smallest 
cog...unless they're also riding in one of the smaller chainrings. This 
"cross-chaining" practice prematurely wears cogs, rings, and chains and should

Only skipping in smallest cog makes me think it is a deraileur adjustment,
maybe they knocked it out of whack a bit on the install.  Did you try
adjusting the tension back there? I dont know your level of expertise but
if you havent done this kind of thing before just remember to go slow and
make small adjustments or else you will have it back at the LBS paying them
to do it.  The late great Sheldon Brown has a few articles on the net about

More detail - the chain and cassette were new last May from
Rivendell.  I've ridden about 2700 miles and I just learned about
keeping the chain clean so I understood I needed a new chain.  The new
chain does have a master link.  If the cassette is worn, do I replace
the whole thing?  I've only noticed the skipping in the smallest cog.
Can the cog just be replaced or the whole thing?  I'll look at the cog
and try to see.

RE: [RBW] Re: New chain skipping

2012-04-15 Thread Joe Bartoe

That would be the answer. Replacing a worn chain resulting in skipping should 
always make you think "worn cassette". If no amount of adjusting dials it in, 
it's time for a new cassette.

I didn't see the original thread here, but if you're using a master link, make 
sure it's installed properly. If it isn't seated properly, it may be shorter 
than it should be at that link. If you have a Wipperman link, there's an 
orientation that you need to worry about. Barring that, new cassette.

I agree. Both of those answers are probably the two most likely
suspects. Your old chain and your cassette wore together, and when you
put the new chain on, it revealed the wear in the cassette that was
hidden before.

Hi Pam,

I'd maybe take a look at your cogs and chainrings (if you haven't replaced 
those too), and make sure that the teeth aren't too worn.You'll know if 
the teeth end in sharp points like a shark fin.
