How To Fix Bike Chain Skipping/Slipping/Jumping Gears

I show the most common causes for chains that skip, slip, jump gears while pedaling (auto-shifting/phantom shifting derailleur), especially while under torque like climbing up a hill or standing on the pedals. And explain what needs to be done to fix them.

Hey bud just watched your video I got a weird problem If I shift up past 6th gear my bike's chain will slip until I shift down. I can shift all the way to 6th but not further. I bought the bike 3 days ago so it's brand new is there a break in period?

i am in dire need of help! my bike tries to kill me on 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th gear, i make sure i down shift and "seat" gear properly before putting pressure on the chain while climbing, and the chain "skips" meaning that it feels like the chain lets go 100% or af it the cassette has missing teethe and you get to those teeth and it lets go for 1 second, not good when you are putting all your pressure on the pedal and just goes "CLING!" and all your weight goes sideways!! the bike never did that new and only after a few rides i start having issues with it and never had worked correctly after the first tune up..

Hi RJ: Update on my chain skipping problem on my 3x9 touring bike: Turns out that the culprit was a worn middle chainring! Everything else is new on that bike, so I should have thought of the chainrings earlier, but when you're stomping down on the pedal while riding it's impossible to keep a close eye on the movement of the chain. It was only when I asked my wife to look at the cassette while I stomped on the pedal with the bike on the floor and the brakes set that she exclaimed, "the cassette isn't moving, you dummy!" This has proved to be one life lesson that I will never forget....

Excellent video. My well used bike was working fine, but I thought it might be time for a new chain. The bike mechanic told me the chain was so worn I would have to replace the sprockets..but I didn’t believe him. They looked okay to me. But after fitting the chain, I literally could not move the bike, as the chain slipped freely over all sprockets under any load. Amazing! As the bike is old, I have refitted the old chain and everything is back to normal. No skipping except on the smallest rear cog.

Thank you very much for this video. I bought a used Trek 7.4a few years ago that had a persistent problem with the rear derailleur. It just didn't shift as smoothly as it should. I tried the standard adjustments. I took it to the LBS. All without success. Then I found this video. It suggested replacing the shift cable. I replaced the rear derailleur shift cable and wow! Problem solved! Before I threw out the old cable, I inspected it. I found a kink in the cable that would explain the poor shifting. Thanks for the great videos. Please keep them coming.

I've also founds a new LBS for the stuff I'm not yet up to fixing. Thanks again for your videos!

Great video! I have a bike that was locked up outside in the elements for a long time without use (thanks a little to COVID and a bit to the weather). I immediately relubricated the chain but found it skipping. The cassette , derailer and chain seems to still be good. I'm now under the assumption that the chain links are stiff (due to being out in the elements for so long). I used some oil to continue cleaning them. Otherwise, I might just replace the chain. Thanks for the help and tips!

@David-ty5jk Жыл бұрын

You should get a new chain and pay to get it placed on. I'm telling you no amount of money saved is worth attempting to do the chain all alone if you deal with links. You can follow the instructions all you want you won't get nowhere and with some skill and determination you might take a few links off the chain but you will never be able to put the chain back together without an actual machine or taking the bike to a shop where they can do it by machine

@Tailspin80 3 ай бұрын

I have a 17 year old hybrid with a 3x6 freewheel setup. Shifting was awful. Changed the chain and freewheel but not much better. The main culprit turned out to be the rear derailleur which has lost a lot of its spring so the chain tension was too low. However carefully the limit screws and indexing were set it would not go up and down reliably. A new one completely fixit it. I had a second problem of shifting getting slow and sometimes delayed for several seconds. This was due to dirt getting in the cable to the rear derailleur. The cable comes in three outer sections so lots of places for dirt to get in, but easily cleaned as well. I have a new bike now with Shimano 105 groupset. The technology has come so far in the last 20 years, it’s in a different league.

On line with frame flex shifting issues, I have found that worn bushings or bearings on full suspension bikes can be a serious issue. So, if you have a F/S and it is still jumping or ghost shifting after going thru all the common fixes, check for suspension wobble.

Just cleaned up my sister in law's old mountain bike and put a new chain on an old Shimano 7-speed cassette. Jumping like crazy on the three smallest sprockets. Was thinking I might have an incompatible chain ( KMC Z50 ) but worn sprockets sounds like the real cause. She always rides the middle chain ring on the small sprockets. Need to see if I have another 7 speed in the collection ( think they are all 8 though ).

Very useful, but what about the chain slipping on the chain wheels? I replaced the chain and freewheel/gears on my MTB, but chain still slipped, but not as badly. Replacing the chain set sorted the problem. The chain slipped on the middle chain ring, but not the largest, presumably because It was torqued less. Is chain slip less likely to be caused by a worn chain wheel than a gear on the freewheel?

@reecenewton3097 2 жыл бұрын

My new chain slipped with the original freewheel and middle chainwheel, on a front triple crankset. The middle is the one that I had used most. The large (high speed) and granny (low speed) were used less: they were still operable, but the middle was pretty bad when I inspected it closely. It's an aluminum alloy, softer than steel. The cogs on the freewheel are steel and still have their factory profile. So I replaced the middle chainwheel and the problem went away. The exact same thing happened with a friend's bike, and he replaced the middle chainring also. So you really have to check all three areas: freewheel, chain, and chainrings. A chain and the cogs wear together, so sometimes a new chain won't work well because it doesn't mesh correctly with the old cogs.

i take it uve done this 8 months later? if not just pop the bike upside down and pull the derailer forward and hook the chain back on to any gear it usually is the right one then begin peddling the bike with ur hand and its done

I ended up taking mine to the bike repair shop. They sprayed a bunch of WD-40 on it, and that solved the problem.

question, I just bought a bike😀, was riding, braked, brakes work a little too well lol, and I ate it with the bike and the chain fell off... Its a 7 gear bike, idk if thats right, anyways, I put the chain on the second to smallest cog, and then on the smallest, is that correct, if I have my bike on number 7??

This is a great diagnosis video but is a poor "How to" video that the title suggests that it is.

How to diagnose, not fix. I think my cassette needs replacement and i bought it like this, back to the store with complaints.

Would have been good to see how to actually put a slipped chain back onto the right gear cog rather than just get an explanation of what might have gone wrong.
