In brief

You’ll diagnose and fix a bike chain that skips, slips, or jumps gears—especially under load—by checking common mechanical issues. RJTheBikeGuy covers adjustments, wear, and component replacements to restore smooth shifting, ideal for cyclists dealing with phantom shifting or climbing struggles.

Description from the creator

I show the most common causes for chains that skip, slip, jump gears while pedaling (auto-shifting/phantom shifting derailleur), especially while under torque like climbing up a hill or standing on the pedals. And explain what needs to be done to fix them.
