Stop replacing your damn bike chain every time it starts skipping

I see people in this sub buy a new chain the second it skips. 9 times out of 10, your cassette is just gummed up or your derailleur hanger is bent. Took me 15 minutes with a degreaser and a hex key to fix what would have cost me $40 on a new chain.

You ever try just cleaning the cassette first @daniel_martinez92? Did that on my old bike and it stopped skipping for another 500 miles, saved me a whole new drivetrain.

Wait, wouldn't a whole new chain fix both problems anyway?
