Chain suck can be a swine, especially if you have never come across it before. In my experience a badly worn chain ring or a new chain on a worn ring is the prime candidate. But as the following video shows, there are other more mundane causes.
Just lacing the new rim in preparation for the next wheel size step up ..
Not really very bikey ..... Dog sitting at the Cabin tonight ..

I have a Haibike..... chain suck from day one, it's part of the package isn't it lol.
I will figure it out again eventually, could well be a worn chain ring ( I will investigate up close tomorrow ) The current is not that old to be fair so not give it a thorough inspection.
All other aspects from that video can be eliminated but I have been experimenting with chain lubes and may have created more of a glue than a lube lol so will revert to trusty previous to test.
Probably want a seperate thread but how can you get that if you run a 1*drive train with a clutch - there just isn't enough chain slack and the tension on the derailleur surely is too much ?
Doggy wellness shop including a 4 paw dog scale!? They look a little bit like wondering „How do we get rid of those bikes in the living room!?“.

I don't know !!
No clutch on my derailleur but your correct with tension.... not much slack on my drive.
Regular occurrence and happens non shifting and regardless of gear.
I will post a pic in my bloggy thread of the current chainring as I'm not sure if it's worn or not.
First stop is swapyour derailieur for one with a clutch. There's plenty of "shadow" shimano mech's for €30-€35 on offer.

I’d have a bit mor
I’d have more than skid marks if I rode down that !
I hear you! It looks way more interesting from the rider's view at the 8:50 minute point in the video! The good thing is there is plenty of run out and MOST of the trees mind their own business! The start of the trail is pretty sketchy tho

Sketchy start? I'd have to cross that log on my arse, with the bike on my back!
All I need to know now is that there are wall-to-wall mosquitos, bears, wolves, snakes and other random critters! Yikes
Just out of interest, what rating would that trail be? Any idea?
Haha... a few mosquitoes after it rains if you are near a pond. I have never seen a wolf this far south but coyotes are in the area (I hear them every night from my house!). I see lots of bears in Whistler and a few on the local mountains but they usually hear you coming and avoid you. Lots of snakes but none of them are poisonous where I ride.Sketchy start?

That trail is rated as Black with Double Black features on it. There are WAY more difficult trails/features in the area, most of which are unsanctioned and I don't do as you can be miles from any rescue and cel phone support can be spotty!

Fuck that for a game of soldiers…which is a quaint old English saying which, roughly translated for our overseas friends , means…I think I’ll give that a miss if it’s ok with you.I hear you!

I would have said "Interesting".
From an English guy that always sets our French and German colleagues laughing like drains.
(Well, my French and German colleagues, maybe I moved in strange company).

Rode the Skeaduro trails with Wes the other day. Leaves are really turning now and parts of the trail were slippy af. Good times.

Sounds exciting ...What did we miss?
Don't even know what the bike was as they've deleted that - which seems weird to delete a picture of your bike on "pic of the day" - because you could only see the bike ? Guess we will never know.
C'mon Zimms..you're "The Man" ..surely you can pull a few strings behind the scenes at Emtb Forums Towers ..this can't be left unanswered ..
I can only do the same as anyone else ... @Moderator ... what was it ?? or was it just user error ??C'mon Zimms..you're "The Man" ..surely you can pull a few strings behind the scenes at Emtb Forums Towers ..this can't be left unanswered ..

The suspence is unbearable! What was shown in this forbidden view that prompted for such harsh measures by our @Moderator ?
