Thx for your very good advice. I will bear that in mind for future. I can always stop in at the bike shop periodically to have them check the chain. At what distance would you recommend checking chain for wear.

Well somehow it conveys to me that you know what to do on a stringed instrument, which puts you in the category of musician. You might be a very casual one, but nonetheless.........................

Sorry, ur pic looks like you are bangin on a guitar

Understandable. I also see you are a musician. Me too. Valve trombone.

You are obviously a better techie than I. I have relied on my bike mechs to guide me. I wish I were more adept at the mechanical side as you are.

Whatever floats yer boat Stefan. I pretty well went by what the techs told me and when they checked my chain at 2000 kms they said to come back around 4, which I did. I will bear your point in mind for next time tho.

For those of you with Explorer +2 who have been plagued with "cog skip" as I have been, just had new chain & rear cassette installed ($130.00 Cdn). (4000 kms) I was amazed at the transformation. I runs better than new. It is smoother, quieter and nary a skip. Bike tech remarked that they are...

Thx Sierratim. Guess wot. I have never replaced the chain. A few rides ago I was into the shop. They checked it and said come back at 4000 kms. I'm about there so I suspect it will be a new chain and cassete.

has anybody priced out a rear cassette set for Exploreer E+2 in Canadaland.

Realize this has been discussed. Experiencing chain skip. Was told small cog at back (high gear) worn. Not critical but to come back at 4000 kms (3000 mile) Now at 3400 kms and it is skipping quite badly in this gear. I am told that the entire sprocket will have to be changed. Kaching...

Thats good news Alaskan. I should have also mentioned that I have been traveling in "Normal" and high gear probably 90% of the time, shifting for grades. So what techs encouraged me to do is move to Eco when on the flat and shift to a lower gear, moving off the small one. That way, they tell...

Stop me if I am being redundant. I have been deemed guilty of this in past posts. Here is what I have learned about my "chain skip". I have been advised by my techs that the smallest cog or gear on my rear set of sprockets is beginning to wear. Why? Its where I spend most of my time when I...

Ok Ok, I get it. I will check with my tech, as I am not a handy guy with derailleurs. Sorry for being repetitive.

Yep, agreed. It does not interfere with my riding. I would say its a small glitch in what is otherwise perfection. Dont think it has much with shift cable. It is definitely tied in with chain and cog. Gonna check again with my tech. They can tell right away if there is too much chain play.

cant answer that. chain has about 2000 Kms, about 1200 miles. I did speak with my tech a bit ago and he said chain is fine. I will go back tho. thx for input. I will try to determine which cog, but it happens when I am in my highest gear and other times.

thx Lefty. I hope its not that. Guess I will just monitor.

Thx Left. I hope its not that. I guess will just monitor.

When cranking, my E+1 occasionally "skips a cog". It happens sometimes when I am putting a little extra force on the crank, then once in a while just cruising. Its slightly annoying. I have had it in to dealer, but the skip is still there. Its almost like the chain "skips" a tooth.

Luuuv them schnauzers. We are on our third. First was a mini, last two are standards
