Last fall I bought a used (but just barely) Fuji Touring Series. I've been riding it a bit lately
and am annoyed by a twice-a-pedal-revolution clicking which sounds like it's coming from the bottom
bracket area. It only happens when I'm on the middle ring.
The bike is RSX equipped and has one of those stamped steel middle rings with all kinds of contours
and rivets. I just took a strong light and magnifying glass and found the chain has a stylized "SS"
on the outer links, and very tiny "SUPER" and "SHUTTLE" around the pins.
I've never heard of a Super Shuttle chain before. Where does this come from? Also, is there possibly
an incompatibility between this chain and the RSX ring that is causing the clicking? Would a Shimano
chain not click? How about a Sram/Sachs/Sedis? Anyone ever confronted this before?
