| Sep 12, 2017 at 3:23 | comment | added | zenbike | This is a difficult one to diagnose without a bike in front of me, but there are , as you noted, 3 options here. A stiff link is a likely culprit. I note that you were unable to find it is the stand, if so. Try checking the chain by pedaling it backwards on the stand, slowly, and watching for the derailleur cage to "jump" slightly as the chain passes through. Second, a poorly adjusted derailleur can cause the chain to try to move to the next higher or lower gear. 3rd, you derailleur hanger may be bent. Solution to the last two is the same. Align the derailleur hanger, and set it up again. | |

Perhaps try bringing your bike to a professional and ask if he can see a problem with it. If he sees the problem fast enough he might not even charge you for it (don't count on it though ;)) | |
