Morning all
I have a single speed which I commute on where the chain is starting to slip. Gearing is 44:16 with a chain tensioner, chain line seems ok, cogs are not wore or hooked but occassionaly when putting power down the chain jumps forward.
Anyone got any advice, do I need to replace if the chain even if I am using a tensioner?
cheers

Buy a Park chain-checker. Only a couple of quid and it'll tell you whether you need to change the chain or everything.
But... in my experience if you change the chain on an SS you might as well change cogs as well, or else it'll keep skipping until the new chain is worn into them. Depending on the type of cogs you have you could just try flipping them round and running a new chain on them.
Take quick look at the hanger where the tensioner is just to make sure it's not been bent.
check your chain wear this evil winter has been eating chains!
The cogs are both reversable so they hopefully won't be a problem with a new chain. I might as well get chain checker at the same time
thanks for the help
