  1. Worn-out Chain or Cassette: Over time, your chain and cassette teeth can wear down, causing the chain to slip.

  2. Improper Gear Shifting: Shifting under heavy pressure can lead to chain skipping.

  3. Chain Length Issues: If your chain is too long or too short, it might jump off the gears.

  4. Misaligned Derailleur: A bent derailleur or misaligned hanger can lead to inaccurate gear changes and chain jumping.

  5. Dirty or Poorly Maintained Drivetrain: Dirt and debris can interfere with the chain’s movement, causing it to skip.
