I shortened my chain, now it skips
Moderator: Moderator Team
I shortened my chain, now it skips. Reasons why I shortened my chain: the original chain length was when I had a 40t large chain ring, now I only have a 30t. So I adjusted the chain length. When I had the original chain length, I thought it was too much chain and that's why I was getting chain suck.

Is the chain and/or chainring new-ish? Typically worn chainrings cause chainsuck.
Is it possible in the process of shortening the chain that you created a stiff link?
Also, on triples (and really, doubles), chains are typically shorter than ideal, to accommodate for the huge spread. Your chain may now be too short, exacerbating chainline issues.

Did you size the chain as per the relevant guides (SRAM/Shimano/Parktools - different techniques same result) or did you 'use the force'?

Yup, right method, so something else is worn out!
