You must have shifted gears without pedalling forward, or after you stopped cycling.

Fair play. You saw a shot and took it.

Isn’t Stonehenge infamous for being smaller in person than people think? ;)

British gf smiled at the above, then pointed out Stonehenge has much larger stones, where the pyramids are a lot of smaller stones.

I’m in the opposite camp. Cakes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and now breakfast. Not complaining tho.

Maybe a strip of inner tube to wrap around the rod, and a zip tie or 5 to hold it in place, depending on how wide your zip ties are? If the rod is painted you might want to keep a needle handy to open the zip tie back up instead of trying to cut it off.

Hey so it’s been >20 minutes since I suggested you pedal forward (clockwise if you’re in the right hand side of the bike) to see if that corrected the problem. I haven’t heard back and I’m now logging off, but if the previous suggestion didn’t work, try the following.

1) Check that there’s nothing stuck anywhere in the chain, like a twig or string. If there is, remove it and pedal forward (clockwise on the right hand side of the bike).

2) Check that there’s nothing in the wheels of the the rear derailleur.

3) Check the chain is properly seated on the cassette and on the two rear derailleur wheels.

4) Check if you can move each derailleur wheel a little with your fingers. If they don’t move at all, something’s broken, you need a bike shop.

5) Pick the chain up off the cassette (rear cogs) and move the cassette counter clockwise with your free hand. If they don’t move at all, something’s broken, you need a bike shop.

Most likely we can solve it, so don’t stress. Just try what I’m suggesting and write back ASAP.

I’m wondering how to structure my response... Actually, I’m changing my response. Try the above, and if that doesn’t work write a reply, let’s go step by step. I’ll try and help you out but I don’t have all night.

(What I wrote before that I’ve now taken out so we can go step by step. IGNORE THIS PART

From what I can see in the video, I think there might be two explanations:

1) You changed gears with your hand on your shifter after you stopped pedalling forwards on the bike, so the chain didn’t fully change gears. If you try what I suggested above, that should sort it out.

)

Ok. Watching your video, what is happening is, when you ‘back pedal’ your chain is touching the ‘chainstay’.

There can be a few reasons for this. To fix it, try the following, but stop if there’s a lot of resistance or if it feels like something might break:

1) Push the pedals forwards instead of backwards. If you don’t have space to ride, lift the rear wheel off the ground by holding the saddle with one hand, and turning the pedals with the other hand.

If you can post a picture of the chain when it is touching the black metal bar, we can probably tell you how to solve it.

Is the chain falling off of the front rings when you pedal? Like in my top pic above?

Or is the chain getting stuck to the ring instead of rotating?

Is the chain broken or visibly bent?

Where in the picture is the problem?

Not familiar with the set up but I’m guessing a zip tie won’t work?

The Record groupset was £525, so the seller is going to have to find £475 of that, therefore I reckon it would be their property if it turns up.

That’s a shame but ultimately not your fault, and 100% theirs for not insuring properly. If they haven’t confirmed they sent it RM 2nd class, then it’s possible they made the correct decision behind the scenes and paid for the better insured postage, no?

You’re not asking, but I’d say the right thing to do is to get all of your money back from the seller, and help the seller out when/if the groupset turns up. When/if the groupo does turn up, which isn’t guaranteed, you’re not obligated to purchase it anew from the seller, so you wouldn’t have to pay back the refund: once they’ve issued the refund, that initial specific sales agreement is done. You could choose to purchase it again, or send it back, or come to some other arrangement with the seller. You could even make this arrangement in the same message you send when you start your refund request process.

Colombus Compass holds carbon steerer and tyre-less wheel. I too am wondering why tho.

More survivor’s bias here: used 2.1” tyres on 17mm Bontrager wheels on my Trek 8000 hardtail mtb, no issues.

Supposing that the combination of parts is compatible (I’m sure there’s a chart somewhere but I don’t know off the top of my head), how’s the cage angle looking? The height? Is the problem shifting in both directions to the middle or in one direction?

The rear is fine and I’ve got the limit screws set for the big and little rings however I can get it to shift into the middle rings. Too much tension?

In the front or rear?

Second spoke from the right is showing 7 or 8 threads. I wouldn’t trust the seller.

-not sure why the rest of the responses didn’t show up, didn’t mean to add to the dog pile.

Dibs cranks please

I don’t know, it’s pretty technical stuff, and I’m not sure they’d understand it. Better give it to SAGE to distill the message even further.

Best for you (and anyone), in the long and short term, is not to catch covid.

Real Torm or fakes? Seems way too good a deal to be true, but they shop out of the same region Torm is made in, and the seller has low stock in random sizes like an outlet.

Just saw that, was wondering who here owns it.
