One thing I haven't seen mentioned on this list yet is a loose chainring bolt, which has been a problem for me in the past. The chainring bolts can also become maladjusted if you don't tighten them in a star pattern - like tightening the lug nuts on a car wheel (I said the "c" word, didn't I?). -Collin |
