I just got a new chain with my bike tune up, and for the first time I am experiencing significant chain slippage. I believe it's slippage, as I have never experienced something like this before.
When I was going through all my gears, I was in my middle ring (yes, I have a triple) and once I applied some torque, it felt like something shattered in my drivetrain. And it happens every time I apply force while in the middle ring, so that ring is not usable, unless going downhill.
A similar thing also happens in my smallest gear (30x25), but that is because of the 25 and not the 30.
Where should I look first? In two years of riding, I have never had anything like this occur, so it's hard for me to believe that the chainrings and/or sprockets all of the sudden are history. But maybe they are. Thanks
