One test is to put on the large ring and the smallest cog in the back, and spin the crank backwards. A stiff link can be seen as it passes through the RD jockey wheels. If a stiff link is found, flex the chain back and forth to loosen it. | |

| Apr 10, 2020 at 16:11 | comment | added | Dan M | I've always found it a little difficult to gauge how worn the chainring is, but I wouldn't say it is too bad, some of the teeth have become a little rounded but don't seem sharply pointed or hooked. Full res images of my chainset here: imgur.com/a/JeDcWVr Image of factory FC-9000 50T for reference: bit.ly/2VgsVmd I do still have suspicions regarding the pawls. A LBS couldn't get the freehub off the wheels (Fulcrum Racing Sport). I'm sure I've heard of people having trouble getting them off or replacing them on this wheel before; it may be a case of straight swap... | |
