- Just a little bit worn, eh? - mike1727
- Must have been causing major shifting problems? Make sure you change chain and block when you change this - mike1727
- No wear. This is Hertfordshire, after all. - mike1727
- No wear.
Ride faster! - mike1727 - Dude - Surf boarding waves!
- Ah yes..had missed those. Funny that they're much more worn here than 90degrees away. - mike1727
Time for some new chain rings maybe.
Ok - I just got home, and the bike needs a clean.
I want to ride my Bicycle but the chain keeps jumping...
The chain in banjaxed - so I had to take a handfull of links out - now
its too short.
What do you reckon - Is the middle chain ring a little worn.
Time for a new chain, chainrings and cassete. And a bottle of muck-off

You spend a lot of time on the middle shop then? :-)
For some reason my chain is slipping on the middle ring, only under load but despite new chain, chainring and block-any ideas?

No not realy. I normaly knock it up onto the big ring as soon as possible when on the road. Its proabably equaly worn (Look at the waves on the lower teeth) just more of it to wear away.
The only idea I have is that your rear deralier is gunked up or loose and not keeping enough tension on the chain. When your on the smaller cog is the chain alot looser? Maybe just try adjusting the tension screw a bit.
I was hoping to put off having to replace the entire drive chain till after my holiday. It was only a little jumpy untill last night, when it all went wrong,
Waiting at the T junction waiting to pull out, Gave the peddles a crank with the right foot and bang, Chain jumps - my left knee slams into my gear shiftes - @$"&^*!" expletives.
It was dificult cycle home after that as any power would cause the chain to just jump.

Heh, been there- always worst (and most embarassing) at junctions. I ended up in the hedge once- put the power on coming off a roundabout, chain jumps, no power, dive for safety...
