Cause my 98 FSR to skip smaller gears on the cassette?
It has done this for a long time, i never rode it when i first bought it last year, instead stripping it down for refurb, as i built it back up i noticed the skipping.
So far i have changed.....
The cassette
The chain
Gear cabling
It have set the chain to the right legnth, i have stripped down the rear mech to make sure everything is nice and free, i have not changed the front chain rings yet as it skips in all 3 of them anyway, so i have ruled that out for now (and they dont look worn)
The rear cassette did not look worn either tbh, nor did the old chain.
I am wondering now if it is simply play in the rear bushes causing the chainline to drift out of shape under large amounts of torque?
