My Bmx Bike Chain Is Skipping

Press the shifter once.

My bmx bike chain is skipping. If your chain is constantly skipping over gears sliding off or slipping as you pedal you likely need a new cassette. In the first half dozen rides on a new bike your shift cables stretch the most. Tell them to fire the orangutan working in the back fix the chain length and give you a water. So putting a new cassette in the mix without a new chain will cause the.

To fix a skip in the rear derailleur shift the chain into the smallest ring on the rear cassette hardest gear and the middle or bigger ring on the front derailleur. I ve been riding like this for quite a while and my bikes dialed and fine no grinds or skips or creams etc. Twist the right barrel adjuster which is on the brake laterally opposite from the brake lever. The brake cable passes through it as it enters the shifter.

If the chain skips the teeth on the gears then go back to the shop where you had the work done. After cleaning the cassette look at the gears. Most of the time a skipping chain is caused by cable stretch. But yesterday another rider told me my cranks should be spinning freely i don t understand what difference it makes nor do i care if it s a preference thing but i just want to make sure i m not damaging my new sprocket and bb and hub etc.

If you replaced the rear cog without replacing the chain that s your problem. If the bike chain does not move up a gear add tension.
