Hi Paul, Patrick raises a good point-- maybe try something other than the paraffin/wax mixture. Since chain suck is the result of the chain not wanting to leave the sprocket, you want the chain to fall away from the chainring teeth as easily as possible, so a lighter lubrication might be in order. I also recommend heavier chains like the KMC 8x, which is a *great* chain (advertised for 8-speed drivetrains, this will probably work well on your 7-speed-- hopefully better than the 9s chain you have) because I've basically never had chainsuck with them. Wippermans are also good chains. I bought an SRAM chain once, but was not impressed-- not only was it more expensive, but it didn't even have riveted pins. Also FWIW I use vegetable oil on my chains and it works surprisingly well. Anyway hope you get it figured out quickly. -Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
