I have cobled together a cheapo SS bike to save the good bikes from the ravages of Newcastle's salty winter roads. (Fleabay bankrupt stock steel frame and forks £13.50 was a nice start.)
The problem I discovered last night when I finally finished the build is that the chain is slipping under the slightest pedal force. I suspect the chainring is worn but would appreciate a second opinion. The set-up is:
Son of Strongarm cranks with used Race Face 44t chainring
New Massi 8 speed chain (was going to be an 8 speed)
Onza 15t sprocket conversion kit
Mr C chain tensioner (down push)
I plan to use another crank tonight which has been fettelled with to put the big ring inside the spider. Does anyone have another theory about the slipping ? Ps don't worry about the ratio I'm not going near any hills with it yet!
