It is also possible the chain rings are worn out in which case: should I use this opportunity to change it out to a non-IG model? It is a Deore Mega-9 derailer in the back and a alivio in the front. Thanks in advance.
I don't know what the policy on necro-posting is here but just to follow up, because I am forgetful... I finally convinced the bike shop I needed an IG chain by printing off some documentation from Shimano. With the new IG chain on the bike has been working fine for about 3 years now.
