I must've misread it then. I see that telling me smallest cog on the

I agree 70% of the
Ah ha! You ride in this smallest cog most of the time! Take another look
but the back side of the teeth on that cog are most likely cupped
(increasing slope of the tooth until it becomes an overhang near the top).
This is good news as buying a new final cog is easy and much cheaper than a
whole

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but unless I'm misunderstanding
something terribly, there's no way you should be spending 70% of your time
riding in your highest gear. It makes my knees hurt just thinking about
it. You should be trying to ride in approximately the 90-100RPM range.

I tried looking at the cog but I can't tell much. I'm not very
mechanical. I'll look at the chainring too. It wasn't knocked out of
adjustment because I watched him install it. I checked the master
link. It looks ok. It may be the derailleur but I have friction
shifters so I wouldn't think it
I needed a small chainring when I did my winter overhaul on the Hilsen.
New chain and the hooky teeth wanted to pull it up like precursor to
chainsuck. They were pretty sharkfin-ish.

Check your chainrings. That was the problem I had, once. Replaced
the chain. Replaced the cassette. Finally took it into the shop.
Head mechanic: "did no one look at your chainrings?"
Bleriot's chainrings (13500+ mi) are starting to look suspect, but
nothing is skipping... yet.

If it is the smallest cog only, then the stiff link hypothesis has a point in
its favor, as the stiff link will be most obvious on the smallest cog, which
has the tightest curvature.
You can generally buy a small cog for your cassette if it turns out to be worn.
Seems unlikely, because most peo
Only skipping in smallest cog makes me think it is a deraileur adjustment,
maybe they knocked it out of whack a bit on the install. Did you try
adjusting the tension back there? I dont know your level of expertise but
if you havent done this kind of thing before just remember to go slow and

More detail - the chain and cassette were new last May from
Rivendell. I've ridden about 2700 miles and I just learned about
keeping the chain clean so I understood I needed a new chain. The new
chain does have a master link. If the cassette is worn, do I replace
the whole thing? I've only noti

I agree. Both of those answers are probably the two most likely
suspects. Your old chain and your cassette wore together, and when you
put the new chain on, it revealed the wear in the cassette that was
hidden before.

Maybe a stiff link in the new chain?

Hi Pam,
I'd maybe take a look at your cogs and chainrings (if you haven't replaced
those too), and make sure that the teeth aren't too worn.You'll know if
the teeth end in sharp points like a shark fin.
