Anyone know how to solve this?
I've given it a good go with WD40, gave it a clean and tried some chain oil. It's only sticking in one point (pictured).
It's also a pretty new chain that has only seen about 200 miles.
The problem arose when I swapped to an eno crankset. I've got it set up as a 9 x 1. Tester informed me that it might be because the chainring is an exact 3/32" and thus slightly too large for a 9sp chain. Or at least I think that's what he meant.
Edscoble then said that it might take a little wearing in, that I can understand but I don't want to ride it when the chain drags back onto itself.
Not sure what to do, file down the offending tooth? New chain? Although I can't see how a new chain would help.
