Oh my fooking god this is driving me mad!!!
My CX bike sounds like I'm bouncing on a old bed spring when climbing or pushing hard, I've tried full strip and clean including changing chainrings and removing BB.
Arhhhh what can this be?

checked and all okay, I did just discover the chain is wickedly stretched, could that possibly be the source?Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Balls!!!! I think the cassette is shagged as well, I swapped the wheels over to the new commuter, on which everything else is brand new, indexing perfect as usual 8)
However when I stamp on the pedals the chain jumps neither up nor down just around, sort of slipping, how can you tell if a cassette is worn?Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Compare it to a new one. If a new chain is slipping on it, then it's worn out. Either replace it or put the old chain back on and run it into the ground. Doubdtful that it's a worn drivetrain making a springy sound though, unless the chain really needs oiling.Dolan Preffisio
