BHPian narayanang76<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Last Saturday was dedicated to a quick service of my Bicycle, Van Rysel Ultra CF.<\/p>\n From the last few rides, I started observing a clicking sound along with a jump near the RD bottom pulley, could clearly feel that jerks during my rides. Also during one of my indoor trainer rides, the chain had slipped on the FD side. I was doubting the KMC chain. Even though the chain wear is negligible with 1500 km usage (checked with my chain wear tool), and with my visual inspection I couldn’t find anything noticeable except marking the chain link where the jump was always happening.<\/p>\n Since I ride with cleats, a chain slip during the outdoor ride will be detrimental for further damage or a fall, I took it for a quick service at Cycle Station near my place. My bike was attended by Naveen who is a National level rider himself.<\/p>\n Naveen inspected it closely for chain wear, RD alignment, angles etc and even he couldn’t find any noticeable issue, even lubed my chain to check, he decided to try a new KMC chain, and the jump increased substantially. He then replaced the RD pulleys one by one and it couldn’t do much help. Decided to try a new Shimano chain and voila, the issue disappeared.<\/p>\n According to him, these chains are sensitive and with the slightest misalignment or angle difference such issues can happen. So the issue was fixed with the new chain, and I decided to keep my old chain for any emergencies since it was still within 50% wear. Naveen said the bike didn’t need any other service and everything else was good!<\/p>\n I then decided to replace my handlebar tapes, as the old ones had started wearing off. I also got a new Shimano clipless pedal, since I thought of upgrading from my Decathlon entry-level pedals for a long time. These days I am running more than cycling, and I wanted to increase my rides a bit more with some motivation.<\/p>\n With all these, my bicycle service has become a more expensive affair than my car service these days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n BTW, was very happy with the attention and support my bike received from the Cycle station guys, and happy with the way they analyzed and fixed the issue with a detailed time-taking process.<\/p>\n Sharing an older pic of my bike.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n Source: Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Decided to try a new Shimano chain and the issue disappeared.
