Hi

I recently purchaed a haibike Sduro hardtail SL 27.5 and 45cm frame Yamaha engine,from Germany. Did I do the right thing?
Wanted a KTM but June delivery from my local dealer
Delighted with the bike and used mostly off road over a 100 miles in the first ten days. Chain seems to skip under load in top gear ( 9 speed )

If you got the bike in a box and it was never checked, a simple gear adjustment may fix you up. There is an ebike shop in city center that sells and service Haibikes.

The one on Grandby St, may take a ride over and visit them soon.

or save yourself some trouble by tightening the tensioning screw on the back of the derailleur.

Which screw might that be?
Thanks in advance

You have to look at the derailleur from behind the bike to see the screw at the top near the hanger. It rotates the whole derailleur round the axle to increase the tension on the chain. When you're in top gear, the chain is at its slackest, which is probably why it's jumping.

Labelled "pulley adjustment screw" here:

Please let us know if it solves your problem.

Certainly will, maybe the weekend before I get the time to confirm

Hi D8veh

Have adjusted the tension screw and have screwed it into approximately the half way position.
Definatly an improvement but not totally eliminated. When looking at the Deore instructions it suggests to adjust the tension in the lowest gear with 1/8th inch gap from the cog, must say mine does not seem to get withing that even fully tightened.
Thanks for the advice.

Welcome to the forum! I love the look of Haibikes! I have a KTM eLycan and had a rather long wait for it myself. Please post up any pictures you take in the off road section as I love to see other people's journeys round the countryside.
