Just wondering if other 2006 Haro v4 are having the same problem.

My chain doesn't drop into the lowest/smallest crank very easily. It
jumps from the highest/largest front crank into the middle crank, but
from the middle to the lowest, it seems to have problems. Yes my
local bike shop has checked it, just seems to be a quirk.

So, anyone else see this?

P.S. Still a great bike for the price. :)


It might not have anything to do with the frame. Many front ders need
to be "modified" a little with the help of some pliers. I know mine
did and I don't ride a Haro.

I second that. Also try (at your own risk) lowering the front derailleur as
very low as it will go without hitting the front chainrings, and tweak the
cage so that the rear part points inward just ever so slightly. I bet that
takes care of it. But the lowering almost always does the trick.

I really miss working on bikes. I'm currently working for the giant rat
here in Orlando.
