Feeling rather proud of myself after setting / tuning my front and rear mechs :D . Had a lot of trouble during last weeks sportive so thought I'd have a go at it today, god bless youtube! Only problem now is when I'm on the bigger gears on the back the chain seems to be 'skipping' on the pulley wheels. Is there any way around this or do i need a new chain? Any help appreciated.

    is the top jockey wheel hitting the bigger gears? if so, then adjust the 'b' screw to move the mech down and away from the cassette
