I, too, am having this issue. For me, it happened after going from an Ultegra 10-speed chain and cassette to a KMC chain and MicroShift cassette, both in 9-speed. However, the "grinding" sensation didn't happen immediately, but after about 150-200 miles (after the first chain re-lubing with

I am having this problem with one of my bikes with a few cogs on the cassette. I think it's a chainline issue that occurs with one of my rear wheels. I'll try applying a little more torque on the cassette lock and see if that helps (good tip from a previous poster). Toshi On Tue, Oct 1, 2019

Sounds like chainline to me. Without seeing the bike in person and assuming everything was tightened correctly, my guess was going to be the chain was running rough. FYI I have also noticed some chains are louder than others; for example, KMC 9 speed chains are generally louder on Shimano

Did you use the repair bay at Missing Link? That's where I learned to work on bikes before I had my own tools. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email

Regardless of the cause, though, the grinding gave me an excuse to dismantle and reinstall every component on the bike over the past couple months which I have always wanted to learn to do. Fortunately having the bike co-op close made that easy and provided guidance when YouTube videos didn't

The BB was brand new and installed by a reputable shop. I don't suspect there was anything wrong at all with the BB since it only had ~500 miles on it. I suppose I could have sorted that out by reinstalling the BB after cleaning the threads, but alas, I didn't. On Monday, September 30, 2019

How old was the bottom bracket? Those Shimano sealed units usually last a very long time. So if it was new and I abused, I’d probably say it was the gunk. I’ve had creaks and groans from dirty BB shells. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

This weekend I decided to replace my bottom bracket to try to fix the problem since it is a relatively cheap part (Shimano UN-55). I haven't ever done it before so I figured it would be a fun exercise. The original size turned out to be a 110mm while the replacement was 113mm. The threads in
