Title: Jumping out of gear he said, clutch sliping he said, making funny noise he said
Post by: unfazed on 02 July 2013, 11:30:15 pm: My son arrived home this evening, complaining that his bike was jumping out of gear, clutch was slipping and making funny noises when pushing it into the garage.
We went out to have a look and I asked him to pull off the front sprocket cover. :)
How can you check the jumping out of gear that way he asked. :rolleyes
Wait and see I said :eek
No prizes for guessing which one was on the shaft :lol
New chain and sprockets tomorrow, needless to say I wasn't to impressed

I asked him when he checked the front sprocket last and he never checked it since we changed the chain and sprocket 20,000 miles ago.
In fairness he always kept it greased. The chain was a X ring DID and wasn't as bad as I had expected, a few tight links and tight spots.

Post by: Buzz on 03 July 2013, 12:19:24 pm: How did that pass the last MOT? Surely it can't have worn from an "Advisory" to that in less than a year?

If they can't see it they can't give an advisory surely?

Post by: darrsi on 03 July 2013, 12:35:47 pm: I went for an MOT once and it started hacking it down with rain, when i came back half hour later the bike was in the same place outside where i left it with dry patches underneath, it hadn't even been moved!

Passed though :D

Possibly 'cos he knows i'm a fussy git and there wouldn't be any issues with it anyway! :lol
