Troubleshooting
Chain skipping or poor shifting performance
Ensure the chain is properly lubricated and not excessively worn. Check that the front derailleur is correctly aligned and adjusted. Verify that the chainrings are not bent or damaged.
Chain dropping from chainrings
Adjust the limit screws on the front derailleur. Ensure the chain itself is the correct length for your drivetrain setup.
Noise or clicking sounds during pedaling
Check that crank bolts are securely tightened. Ensure the bottom bracket is properly installed and has no play. Clean and lubricate the chain and chainrings.
Difficulty installing onto bottom bracket
