I have a Reebok Apex bike - 21 speed. A few weeks ago, the rear gears started to 'clunk' when pressure was applied to the pedals. From looking at the rear mech. when the clunking occurs, it looks as if the chain wants to move down to the next smallest sprocket. I took the bike into the shop, where the guy has replaced pretty much all he can - rear derailleur, chain, pedals, cranks, chainring, and cabling. Even after all of these parts have been fitted, and the gears have been properly adjusted, they still 'clunk' upon pedal pressure. I personally have swapped the cable and outer casing to eliminate that, to no avail.
We are now at the last part we can think of to replace: the cassette. He's ordered the part, and it should be in within the next few days, which hopefully will fix the problem.
My question: does anyone have any theories as to what could be causing this problem, and do you think the cassette will fix it?
Many thanks in advance,
Fraser
