Hi,
put a new chain, cassette and chain ring on, riding 1 x9.
the chain skips and it drove me mad yesterday!
the mech andjockey wheels are old, though got good teeth on them. the set up ran perfectly prior to this. i also re set the cable.
any thoughts?

It's usually old cassettes that do that.
Maybe you've got the wrong sized chain on?
Stiff chain link?
But personally I skip with a rope 😉
a rope may do a better job....
done the links, i thought about the chain, so checked out a new 9 speed against this one and it looks like its exactly the same, width, length and model number on the chains.
i am going to the shed to check it out again and will report back
no stiff links - where it were joined perhaps ?
Chain too long perhaps?
I had exactley the same problem, and changed chain, chain ring, cassette etc and still had the problem, until I changed the shifter - it has run great ever since!I since found that the adjuster on the shifter had worn and I could never keep the cable tight enough, it might be worth a look at.
chain is run short, as its a 1 x 9
i think it may be the top jockey wheel, shed visit did not happen as i was putting a new window in said shed!
wednesday is my next day i can look at it. never had this problem before though
arghhh!
Is the large cog on the cassette the same size as the old one?
if it's not chain rings, cassette or chain, then it could be a slightly bent gear hanger. That's caused me a skipping chain in the past. Have a good look at the alignment.
the chainring, casette and chain are all new, i may play around with the screw( not the limiters) .
may have to be a new mech!

I had my rear mech work loose and cause the same problem.
may well be the b screw.
wase the cassette the same ratios?
erm, some subtle adjustment worked a treat, doh!
did the limiters etc as well.
cheers for your replies
