• softly pedaling = no problems, soon as i start pedaling hard it starts jilting. any ideas on how to avoid this

  • explane "jilting"??

  • when im pedaling it feels like its missing a tooth on the cog and shifting forward

  • i got jilted once, wont happen again I can tell you.

  • is it single speed (free) or fixed?

  • sounds like the inside pawls might be going, replace freewheel

  • Do the cranks wobble left to right at all?

  • does it shift back again or keep shifting forwards?

  • sounds like the inside pawls might be going, replace freewheel

    This one, especially if its dicta ss freewheel or similar cassette freehub like quando or promax

  • the free wheel is brand new

  • Old chain?

  • the free wheel is brand new

    What size? 1/8" or 3/32"

    and what size chain are you using with it?

  • could be the cranks are moving on the spindles. as suggested by jonlubi

  • i dont know anything about ratios, its a 1/8 chain and a bmx cog

  • speak to emoxfag?

    slack chain?

  • If your chainring is really really worn out, and your chainline is terrible. There is a chance you'd get slip there, the chain might jump off under pressure.

  • photos would be helpful

  • it is a bit slack, but cant remove any more links, what about - 1 + 1/2

  • Slack chain!

  • that chain needs to be much shorter. this is the reason for your jilting.

  • OSCC take at least a link out!

    Also, can you take a photo from just behind the cog looking down the chain towards your chainring? It should be near enough a dead straight line, from the cog to the chainring.

  • You can easily take a link out - The dropouts are long enough.
