Hi all.

I have changed my chain,crankset,front and rear derailluler and gear cables. I have assembled everything and indexed the gears everything is fine bar the chain is not sitting properly in just the granny gear so as soon as i go to put any pressure on the chain it slips. If any one can help it would be much appreciated thanks

    I take it by granny gear you mean the largest cog on the cassette?

    You've changed a lot of the transmission, but you didn't list the cassette as being part of that, could be it's toast?

    That is the classic sign of a new chain on a worn cassette

    In that case have you used a 12 T lockring with an 11 T smallest sprocket?

    Just for future reference: the granny gear is the largest sprocket and smallest chainring.

    Rings at the front, sprockets at the back. So granny ring - as you titled the thread - suggests the inner chainring, especially of a triple.

    Granny gear as Svelty says.

    My money's still on the wrong lockring with an 11t sprocket. Or the very remote possibility of an issue with joining the chain (wrong quicklink / directional quicklink on backwards /other stiff link etc)

    Or limit screw needs adjusting to allow mech to move outboard a fraction further.
