I constantly clean and grease my drivetrain, and the chain+cogs are not worn.

Here is a video which explains better:

I thought the H limit screw could've somehow moved so I tried to adjust it with no result. The chain doesn't "climb" on the 9th cog.

I also experimented with the B screw with no result. I also took the wheel off and cleaned the 10th cog and pulleys.


Any idea of what could have happened ? I can clearly see in the video what's happening but can't think of what could be the cause.

Thanks a lot
It looks to me like there is a tight link one or two links after the quick link. The "jump" you feel is just the chain remeshing with the cogs. Try pedaling backwards and watch for the derailer to jump in much the same way as the tight link goes through the jockey pulleys.

I don't think there is anything wrong with your derailer adjustment.
