bugs the shit out of me but i don't feel paying a shop $70+ for a full overhaul when it could be a simple fix.

context: went to Westpoint cycles in kerrisdale in the past...wanted to fix a skipping chain and they ended up tuning the whole bike up. ended up happening again after a few hundred KM. did some research and it should have been a 2 minute cable tension adjustment after doing it myself.
Did you tighten/check the crank bolt? Sounds like a classic BB30 problem. Happened to mine and GREddie's bikes. I think it's a 14mm.
