A stiff or frozen chain link that results from a tight link or corrosion will cause chain skipping or slipping when pedaling in any gear. Here's how to find it and fix it. #bikerepair

Just flex the chain perpendicular to the direction of the links and it should loosen.

Thanks for watching and for sharing one way to try to loosen stiff/tight links. In the full version of this video there are a lot more tips for fixing them kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r6mVpclesLDZnp8.htmlsi=RnyFKpasXgRmIAkb

Havent had that happen yet... more common with the break off pins than quick links I assume?

Thanks for watching and commenting Zane. Yes, modern chains connected with quick links are usually less prone to stiff links. But there are still lots of regular chains out there plus should you break a chain and have to fix it, a stiff link can result. Corrosion can do it too. Thanks again!

I have this but I just put on a new chain. Could it be my gears are just worn to much?

@@jackrenders8937 if the chain was really worn out it could definitely be worn cassette cogs causing the skipping. The worn teeth don’t mesh with the new chain so it rides up and skips over the teeth. Usually it’s only the worn out cogs that skip. But to fix it you would replace the whole cassette. If the new chain skips on every gear, cog, then it might be a stiff link in the chain causing it, but that’s what I explained in the video so you probably already checked for that. Hope this helps.

@@JimLangley1 I will see if it skips at every gear or just a few, Thanks. If that is the issue I will just get entirely new rear wheel assembly, since my rear wheel is more on ellipse shape than round lol. I think and my derailler hanger is slightly bent aswell. Geuss thats what happens when I never did any mantiance on it, poor thing has been abused.
