I installed a brand new
IZUMI chain yesterday. On today's ride, the chain was skipping over the teeth on the freewheel any time I applied power to the pedals (starting, uphills).
I was unable to discriminate whether it was a particular place on the chain (bad/tight links) or whether it was something else such as insufficient chain wrap. I have never before had this problem with any chain.
Any idea on how to diagnose/fix the problem?
I shortened the chain by about 4 links during installation. My first step is to replace those links.
During cleaning, I noticed no excessive wear on the freewheel cogs.
