New chainset, but chain is slipping under load. Can't work out why

This is one of those threads where everything is set up correctly except the things that are being ignored because they can't possibly be wrong.
So far he's ruled out the entire drive train, so best option is a whole new bike.

😂 Great spot. I was watching that last video for a while thinking something doesn't look right, but couldn't place it!

Bloody hell. After one more full tear apart and rebuild I managed to strip the threads on the crank locking bolt when torquing it to 40nm so need a new crankset anyway, will probably never know what the issue was now. What a palaver.

Yep, walking is underestimated really.

Strip it down and photograph the interface of the spider and the crank arm. I wan't to know if my hypothesis was right.

Would you admit it ? 🤣

This was last night, likely the final photo of this spider and rings before they take a nosedive into some recycling.

This is one of those rare cases where smashing it with a hammer, setting it on fire and lobbing it into next door's garden would be justified.

Those chainrings are new are they? Wtf is going on with the teeth on the left side?

New, but look like that due to repeatedly unseating the chain both deliberately and not whilst trying to solve this!

keep all the bits that aren't damaged, you can use them next time something wears out

All of the aboive comments are almost certainly worthy of consideration but the second video of the two on your original post and the last one look to me like the front mech cage is not aligned properly (look at the head on shot on the second vid of the first post and you can see that the front of the cage is not parallel to the ground) and the rear end of the cage seems to be angled inwards. This may just be my interpretation and it may not be the root cause of the problem but probably worth checking it out either way.

I don't think the OP should do his own wrenching really. Certainly should avoid servicing his brakes.

Agreed. It takes some doing to strip the threads off a crankset screw.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0
