Before I start pulling everything apart, has anyone else noticed or had this happen and if so what's worn or changed to cause it?
Thanks in advance for any help  |
This sounds like the pad on the outer side (next to the slipper nut) is slipping too much. So my guess is one of the following:
1. Mid belt is knackered
2. Teeth on mid-belt broken
3. The left most slipper pulley plate is not aligned and hence just spinning around
I suspect you have less front drive too.
I found an interesting design with the slipper the other day. Where the nut screws onto the slipper for adjustment, the threaded bar is not part of the slipper shaft but a screw that screws into the slipper shaft! Be careful here as a lot of people gauge the tightness of their slipper by how far the silicon lock nut is screwed onto the thread - not the case here.
