Well, how the HELL do I fix this? Three chains and it's doing it on both bikes, on all chains. If I could afford a hub change, it's the thing to do I guess. Unless there's a stockpile of French chains somewhere that will work with this slotted gear POS???,,,,BD
EDIT: Much to my dismay, I finally broke down and changed the chain back to the 1985 after a good chem-tool soaking. Sprayed it lightly with a can of white lithium. (It's okay, this one can seems to not solidify for some reason, nor does it turn white. It leaves a light greasy coating instead) It works like new again. Well as close to new as a 20 yr old bike drivetrain can work. I will ride the original combo til it breaks, and then do a complete hub/cog/chainring swap. Thanks for the heads up on the grooved teeth. It was quite an eye opener. Helico matic can kiss my a**, lol.
