I think this bike knows I want to get rid of it!! I just replaced the chain, because when under load, it feels like it is skipping teeth, I don't think it is, just feels like it, maybe. The chain was old anyways so I figured Id see if that was the problem.
So, put the chain on, went out on my street where we have a slight incline, stood out of the saddle and got on it. one pass, still did it. so I figured I would change gear and try it in a different gear. stood up got going, did make any weird noises or skip feeling. Then boom, chain snapped. down I went.
So, it was a sram chain, do you have to use the "power link" thing it gives you. I just made it the right size and put the pin back in.
