I have a brand new Durance with a brand new drivetrain - XT cranks (std rings), XT cassette (11-32), SRAM PC 99 chain, XT rear der, Dura Ace flat bar 10 spd braze-on front der.
My chain slips up front whenever both of the following are happening concurrently: 1) the drivetrain is under load and 2) the shock is cycling through it's travel. Basically, the drivetrain works fine when I pedal on the road on the way to my local trails (even going up steep hills). As soon as I try a rocky climb - crack! It feels like I'm about to break my chain. Sometimes, the chain falls all the way down to the bb, but mostly it just slips (in a manner similar to using a brand new chain on worn-out cogs/chainrings).
I've had 2 different reputable shops (including the Maverick dealer) try to fix the problem, to no avail, and my buddies and I have tinkered with it endlessly without luck.
Anybody have this problem with a Maverick before?
