Basically the same: if the bike is worn -- replace it, if it can be fixed -- fix it.

Get a new one!

Fix it or ditch it.

name the bike jolly ranchers

Depends on the condition of the chainring. They generally don't need to be replaced as often as chains.

LOL!

Was that on purpose?

Probably add spacers. If the bikes was 5 speed, the spacing was maybe 120mm? For 7 speed, it is normally 126mm. But a 11speed wheel will probably be 130mm spacing. Did you remove spacers to fit the 11 speed wheel in 126mm dropouts or something? I thing a 11speed freehub is slightly wider than a 10speed freehub. Maybe the 7 speed chain is wider than the 11 speed chain is the issue. IDK. You are just going to have to figure it out.

I've just had it for the first time, recently started using muc off dry lube. Had cleaned and relubed the chain the same day it happened - allowed the recommended 4 hours drying time after application. Think I might try wax immersion. Supposed to be the best way.

@@fubar12345 finishline used to do a wax lube and that was the dogs bollocks , cant seem to find it these days tho (wax lube beats everything )

if your drive train is 3x7, order 3x7 shifters. There is not a 10 speed shifter for the left side.

Probably not. But it might wear out your drive train faster which might cause it.

Sorry, I have not had that experience. Maybe a link(s) is stiff.

@@RJTheBikeGuy Definitely was. I used extra lubrication on the chainring and chain (Würth HHS 5000), and start riding. After 10 km, chain suck is forgotten. Anyway thanks for the rapid reaction. I love your videos, very useful matters, keep it up master!

If it's brand new, then take if back to the shop and have them fix it.

RJ The Bike Guy hi, I ordered it online and to be honest the customer service has been pretty poor so far! I was wondering if there’s anything I could do before taking it to a shop (where I will be charged as I didn’t buy it from there) the shop I ordered it from is over 100 miles away. I guess that will teach me not to order a bike online! Haha any tips? Thanks for the reply

@@butcherdawgg3708 Actually you can call the customer service or message {email} them so it can be replaced. I hope that would work. I returned my bicycle which I bought from ebay. They refunded the money and I took all the old parts on the cycle and kept the spare parts. Hope that helps.

Did you check the chain for wear with a gauge? Are the rings/cogs worn?

Pete Mycek I’m here because of chain suck in my BRAND NEW Marlin 6 2020. First ride and my frame is all scratched from it already.

@@Nachoschindler don't worry I bought a brand new Giant Talon a couple months ago and this just happened to me this week. The paint is all chipped up around the chainring. It happened after my 1st wash/cleaning of the chain. I think I need to go clean again and take more time with de-greaser then making sure I lube it good after I'm done.

Brand new. Take it back to the shop and have them fix it.

My friend and I both got the same bike Giant Talon 2 29er, we both had it happen on our bikes, grrrrrr. Thanks.

It sounds like there is too big of a gap between the chain rings. I can't tell you why.

@@RJTheBikeGuy yeah that's what i am thinking. I would have to take it apart, Again, to compare the measurement. I also notice the old chainring's width is tapered - getting wider as it gets closer to the axle, so there is a kind of Jump/ramp the chain follows towards the smaller ring as the chain exits this ramped larger ring. The old ring looks like the teeth are far left, but the new ring is not as thick so it is already sucked as far left as it can go. So I am thinking maybe i need to move the front derailler limit further to the left and hope it moves more when i shift down. My downshifting was perfect before. The upshifting doesn't have a problem. I think my chainline changed, i also have a new bb to stop the creaking (3rd time creaking, lots of water/winter commuting). My chain hopped the big rear cog into the spokes for the first time ever. I was testing riding a small road nearby, i carried my bike home, partially removed the tire and removed the cassette to get the chain out, since it was stuck. Luckily i stopped pedalling, the black spokes lost a tiny bit of paint but are undamaged.

My chain length might be too long but that wouldn't do that would it? If it was chain tension I could test it in low gear.

@@RJTheBikeGuy Hi BBB got back to me and said my chain was too long. I have a 11-36 cassette with my 34T chainring and this new 46T big ring down from the 50. I measured half the circumference and ends up being about 1" shorter. I changed gears on the bigger cassette cogs where more tension occurs and that seemed to work better. I removed a link (2 segments, 1") and it improved but still slack chain on the 11T rear, so i think i need to remove another 1". How does that sound? If you reduced your chainring that much, how much do you think you would reduce your chain length?

With the chain rings on this crankset, it was easier just to replace the crankset. That is what I did.

yes..but in some cases ppls want change them....or going from 3x to 2x system...it would be nice too see more stuff related to MTB..

If your bike is brand new and having issues like that, take it bake to the shop and have them fix it.

Having same problem on same new Marlin 5. Luiz how did you get it fixed

@@jamesroberts7137 I didn't hahaha. I'm very disappointed with this bike. I took it to the shop, they made some adjustments, but it never got fixed. In the spring/summer, when I start to use it again, I will use the "cable ties" fix. Basically, you put a cable tie on the chainstay, and the extra cable you point towards the ground (you may need to cut some of it). This way when the chain gets stuck the cable tie will get on the way and release it. There are some tutorials on KZfaq.

me too! same bike... it never happened in 47 years on bikes

Had exactly the same problem on my Marlin 5! On my first ride it happened, scarred the frame very badly & nearly threw me off the bike! Pretty much Why I'm looking at upgrading to something with a 1x10 or something like that as it's happened a lot since then. No matter who I take it to they cannot stop it happening. It's a real shame as it's a brilliant bike for the cash you pay for it! But that 3x7 is pure shite!!

What bike do you use?

I guess you are talking about your cassette locking up. I had that when i went through a sandy trail. I think it might be dirt getting into your hub. I sprayed a ton of degreaser, cleaned it, and put a dry lube in the crack.

Blake Boggs after 7 months no reply, thanks a lot at least one human in this world helped me lol

Rick Astley I think.

Yeah I know. But it is a Barry White song also. :-P

Contact Trek.

Hmmmm. Maybe there was some damage to a chainring. A bent tooth, or a bur from manufacturing then. The chainring shouldn't have have been worn like the one in this video.

Dunno. Maybe try lubing the chain.

If the chain is maintained, and replaced when worn, chainrings will last longer.

Can you even get steel chainrings for bikes like these?

New chain, new cassette, old chain rings. And you get chain suck. Like in this video. Hmmmm.

yea i just, was hoping naively that i can get away with it, and save some money at least on front part of drivetrain. ah well, guess not.

Shrug. Unstick it. Figure it out. There is not a standard solution.

i went to my local bikeshop bc I didn't have the tools to fix it. on the stairs it fixed itself😂

I meant to say the chainrings not chain

Noel Castillo What if you need all the gears for touring? Also 1x means massive jumps between teeth on the cassette.

+Earl Grey "under load" is the key to his reply. IF you are under load and must shift, you momentarily "unload" (relieve pressure on pedals while continuing to pedal). Done right, the shift will be good and no damage will be done to drive train. I hauled 350 lbs through hilly neighborhoods for years without damage. My colleagues did not underatand "unload" and regularly damaged the drive train.

Never!

Sam Murray Have you seen a Scotty Kilmer video? Holycrap!! He screams and flails.

Question why wax !!

because keeps my chain cleaner, less lubricant, maintenance, because i become lazy :P

Not in wet. Wax made for dry. Use Pedro's Ice Wax in a muddy ride and you'll get chain suck.

Just go dollar tree emergency candles and run chain through it wax lubricated repels water

for dry i use normal chain lubricant, wax for rain and mud. i use melted candles, more efficient

David Carvalho Yes, I agree that you can get chain suck from a bad chain line. I put a new chain, cranks, cassette, and rear derailleur on a bike trying to get rid of a chain suck problem. Finally I changed to a bottom bracket that moved the chainrings a few mm closer to the frame. Like magic the chain suck went away.

On my first ride on my new bike, that happened 2 times when I shifted from the big ring to the middle one, thas not a good feeling.

We buy it when it's on sale.

Check the chain and cogs for wear. Replace them.

I explained how to fix it. I ended up replacing the crankset, as it was easier than trying to get new chain rings.

Nope.

Oh

That is usually caused by a poorly adjusted rear derailleur, or bent derailleur/hanger.

Nope, I don't mean between the casette and spokes but stuck in between the chainstay and tire. I haven't had either of these problems but just thought it's that way.

Does that even happen?

It blows...

It's the "always coming from take me down" joke.

pause the video just after it happens and use the comma (",") key to back up frame by frame. you can use period (".") to advance a single frame.

...Thanks Andrew...

I wouldn't mind if someone gave me those...
