A few months back I snapped my Condor branded Sugino crank and replaced it with a Stronglight 2000. It's probably done around 2000km since I've had it including an audax SR series. I've had trouble tensioning the chain, I get tight spots and loose spots but more recently the problem has become more pronounced such that I don't really feel it's rideable; to get the chain to run without binding creates a lot of slack. I can't work out whether I've become more sensitive to it or if it's got worse.
- I changed the chain recently and struggle to see how that could affect it but I am wondering?
- The chainring is very snug on the crank and so there is no scope for the Sheldon Brown loosen a bit and tap to get in the right spot.
- Just buy a new chainring, maybe a Velo Solo? Is there a danger of the problem being with the crank, I haven't got a spare chainring of the same BCD to try.
- I don't really want to buy a new crankset but will do if it's the best course of action ...
Any thoughts welcome ....
