the 3500 mile-old chain on my commuter bike has been slipping off every time
i put much torque on the pedals, like when standing on a start or hill. i
thought this would happen because of wear on the chainring and not the chain
but the chainrings look ok to the eye. i tried cleaning the chain and
adjusting the FD and RD very carefully also the hight and low screws but
this did not help. any ideas? thanks.

the 3500 mile-old chain .... slipping off ... any ideas?
Chains are consumables - like brake pads.
Google up something on measuring chain wear....it's simple, and I'll bet the
thing's way past replacement time - and it'll eventually toast your cog if
that's the case.--

need new cogs and chainrings.
