I'll make this as simple as I can.
Bought a bike which had 'apparently' never been used as the previous owner managed to snap the chain before even riding (how do you do that?)
Came with new chain and fitted it, all hunkydory except 9th gear (11t) caused the chain to slip. Shortened chain thinking that might have been the issue but no change. Put up with it and just avoided using 9th gear as thought they must have damaged it when they snapped the chain (although looked ok)
Just bought new cassette, identical to the one fitted and problem is exactly the same. Mech alignment etc is ok. All gears fine except 9th gear. didn't change the chain as only done about 200 miles on it. Is it a case of bite the bullet and fit another new chain to match the new cassette or should it be ok after 200 miles?
Any advice welcome as only bought it as a temp until I can afford one of my dream bikes but can't sell it for anything near what I paid like this.
Thanks everyone
