| Dec 4, 2024 at 5:24 | comment | added | spanito | thanks it is indeed much more enjoyable to ride now. I have created a new question as you suggested. bicycles.stackexchange.com/q/95908/94887 | |
| Dec 2, 2024 at 15:53 | comment | added | Ted Hohl | @spanito - and glad the new chainrings solved the drivetrain skipping problem! Your bike has to be much more enjoyable to ride now. | |
| Dec 2, 2024 at 15:51 | comment | added | Ted Hohl | @spanito in regards to the BBT-22 question, that should be input as a new question here in Bicycles SE. It may seem like a trivial one, but that is how SE sites like this work; it is a question and answer forum which is somewhat different than a traditional "chat" forum. So please submit that as a new question. Be sure to add a picture or two of your bottom bracket, and the model number of it if you can. I am sure it will receive attention, and you should get an answer (if it hasn't been already asked and answered here at Bicycles SE - search for one first before submitting a new question). | |
| Dec 1, 2024 at 9:30 | comment | added | spanito | Chainrings are now replaced and the chain no longer skips. Thanks a lot for helping me solving the issue. Do you think that park tool BBT-22 is the right tool to disassamble the Shimano Oktalink bottom bracket of my bike? | |
| Nov 24, 2024 at 19:42 | comment | added | spanito | Yes I am no longer using the bike until the chainrings are replaced. I fully agree that otherwise I will damage the chain. Unfortunately, the replacement bike I have is super crappy but I will get the chainrings and cranck puller latest on Thursday so I count to be able to mount and test everything on Friday. I will update based on the results. Thanks again for the help, I am learning a lot. | |
| Nov 24, 2024 at 19:35 | comment | added | Ted Hohl | @spanito It looks like you will also need a Chainring Nut Wrench (Park CNW-2 parktool.com/en-us/product/…). You can see at that link how it is used with the hex key to hold the chainring nut. The small ring does not have chainring nuts, but the middle/big rings are mounted together and do use these nuts. Just loosening the hex without the CNW-2 "may" work, but tightening them back up upon reassembly may be questionable (the nut may spin and not tighten enough). And I will repeat, clean everything! | |
| Nov 24, 2024 at 19:28 | comment | added | Ted Hohl | @spanito you will have to remove the crank to get the small ring off. The middle/large combination, maybe without removal (but it is easier removed). Clean, clean, clean that area first. 1. much nicer to work with (less messy). 2. you are going to need a full grip with your tools, and grit in a groove may limit how deep in the groove you get, so clean the grit out! | |
| Nov 24, 2024 at 19:24 | comment | added | Ted Hohl | @spanito The Park CWP-7 looks to be a usable tool for your setup. Make sure you clean any/all grit away so the tool screws into the crankarm fully before using it. It can take some force. Review online videos of how to do it before trying it. Definitely chainring wear based on pictures - no doubt! I would limit the load placed on the chain until you get the chainrings replaced. Worn parts will wear a new chain much quicker, especially with a lot of load. | |

Minor grammatical edit.

| Nov 24, 2024 at 13:41 | comment | added | spanito | Added now. Do you think I will be able to replace the two larger chainrings (44T and 32T) without disassambling the whole crankset from the bike? The smallest chainring doesn´t give this skipping issue since I basically never use it. I have also ordered today a park tool Crank Puller CWP-7 in case I need to disassamble the whole crankset but if I can replace the two larger chainrings without disassambling the whole cranckset it will be very helpful as I have to replace the chainrings as soon as possible because I really need the bike to commute. | |
| Nov 24, 2024 at 4:05 | comment | added | Ted Hohl | @spanito saw your purchase on the other post. By all means, get some closeups (side view) of the wear on the chainring teeth you are replacing and add it to the question. It will prove useful to others looking to solve a similar issue in the future. | |
| Nov 23, 2024 at 5:06 | comment | added | spanito | Thanks a lot for your response, if I am allowed, I could add to the original post a photo of the front chainrings. I also initially suspected that the rear derailleur was bent but have not noticed any obvious bending. I use the bike to commute to work and we have a big bike parking where people may have smashed thei pedals or legs in my derailleur. I have just ordered a bike stand to be able to more carefully test and inspect the derailleur while the wheel is rotating. Regarding chainrings, what do you think I could replace my current Shimano M442 Octalink (44/32/22) chainrings with? | |
