Hey all, been riding my bike to death and realised the other day when my chain was skipping it was worn out.
So got sent a voucher from CRC and decided to use it.
Bought a new Sram 991 chain, Shimano XT cassette and Blackspire 22t and 34t front rings.
Installed the whole lot and also cleaned up the rear mech (XT Shadow in great condition) and put new KCNC jockey wheels on.
Went out riding today, shifting was flawless and rode very smooth. However when under power the chain skipped a couple times...
The B screw was wound out so the top jockey wheel is as close to the cassette as it can be (not touching the cassette however).
I didn't lube the chain as it comes with that waxy lube from factory. Can this cause it?
Any ideas? Will try and get some photo's up soon.
