The 'mechanical numpty needs some help please' thread...
Discussion
So, my bike has started throwing a fit in the middle cogs of the sprocket - and generally when going down a gear. It was fine yesterday, but today it's really unhappy. I've checked for obstruction, it's a new sprocket, new chain and I'm out of ideas. Help please! (I think it's Shimano SRAM on a Boardman Team FS).
FFS. It's not fixed - I just chase the jump up and down the cassette. No happy medium. So, with a new chain, new rear derailer, new cassette sprocket thing, I'm out of ideas. Could the mounting brackets be out of whack?
Also.... four punctures in four rides. New inners across the board - what else should I check? I've done the rims, seen for anything else mechanical. The tyre is looking a bit second hand now, so I'll replace that. Is 'Slime' worth it? I'm not a small lump, so I can imagine the rear wheel takes a battering generally, but I'm not jumping it, pinching rocks or anything else like that....
(At this rate I'm going to give myself an early Xmas present...)
Thanks!
