chain slip

BloodMonkey

i have been having problems with chain slip on my 4x bike when I put the power down.....I have tryed retensioning the gear cable and i am still having problems.....I was wondering if taking a few links out of the chain would increase the tension.....or would this just muck up the gearing? If so, does anybody have any other solutions

Is chain/cassette/chainrings worn?

i think the chain is slipping on the cassette, because thwe chain and chainring are only month or 2 old........how do you tell if its too worn

Google Sheldon Brown plus worn cassette - he has some great diagrams (plus for the rest of the drivetrain too)

If you are running an old cassette with a new chain slipping can often be incurred.
