Hey Paul, One more thing that just occured to me to check (you may have already done this) is that the rear derailer springs are working/keeping good tension on the chain.
Dang, I didn't realize that Wippermans were that expensive over there. They're not that cheap here either... they're like $25, whereas you can get a KMC for about $15. Definitely reserve the purchase of a different chain as a 'last resort'. -Matt On Feb 15, 5:52 am, Paul Yeoh <rawfoodcuis...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for all your replies. > > Seth: Just checked, its not the rails. > > Patrick: Think I read on EcoVelo to use that paraffin/beeswax ratio. > It worked really well when the chain was still clean, chain ran more > silent than when new. > > Matt: Yes, perhaps I should try an 8spd chain.
