  • Not necessarily, assuming they're correct and it's slipping internally, like they've actually watched it slip, then things can be worse in the smallest/biggest cog if there's a bit of play in the whole assembly and force on the outside pulls things out of line slightly. It wouldn't be the first thing I'd look at, only after ruling out worn teeth. I'd still just buy a new cheap one though.

  • Just mulling things over.... I raced 5 speed back in the 70's and even the cheap ones were pretty robust, even when abused.

    Still have some wheels from back then, even my old very well used Suzue/Fiamme training wheels with the original block that still ticks over.

    Sunrace not a shabby choice...

    Yeah, they were built to last, not engage quickly or shift well.
