A week ago i queried the list about the right chain size for a Cambio Corsa shifting system, because i had ecncountered bad shifting and chain drops. I aquired a 3/32" inch chain now to test that as well. While mouting it, i (hopefully) found the reason for my troubles:

Two of the front chainwheel teeth were bent a bit to the outside... so i grabbed a good pair of pliers, sent a prayer to St. Vincenzo (after all today is Friday the 13th) and bent them back. Thanks for asking, they didnt fall off... CC is hard to test on the repair stand and its too dark outside for a road test, so the proof ride will have to wait, but i'm positive that was the reason. just thought i'd let you know :)
