Help! I put a new chain on my bike, along with a new cassette. It's a SCRAM chain designed for bike
with nine cogs, like mine, and is the same kind of chain I had on before.
The chain skips (well, it drops down a cog- the the third largest to the fourth - and then back up).
It does this when I'm in the middle chainring and when I'm applying power up a steep hill.
It doesn't seem to skip in the big chainring or the smallest. Just the
middle. I've tried three cassettes, now - the new one, one that never had much use, and my old one.
Any idea on what could be causing this? Could it be the middle chainring? Or is the chain a more
likely culprit? (Rhetorical question: How much more money do I have to spend?!?)
Thanks,
Dave
