Re: Chain Binding

How many miles on the bike ? Normally chains need a few adjustments when new(initial wear in) and when they are near the end of their life. You might want to check the front and rear sprockets for excessive wear or damage. Chain wear or chain stretch is the pins wearing down and the chain lengthens. This causes the chain rollers to climb up the sprocket teeth and bend them over and cause ugly wear characteristics. Not a good or safe thing to have.
