Have you checked to make sure you haven't got a stiff link in the drive chain or lots of slack making it jump at lower revs?

Chain tension is fine. Chain is good. Only happens occasionally & don't want to provoke. Cheers

What about the nut on the drive sprocket has it worked loose? or the cap heads on the rear.

Just tried its fine but there is backlash of about a knobble on the tyre, not sure what is normal.

Ie I can rock the rear wheel about 5 deg before it stops, but I think that's normal ?

Just checked mine and in first gear I get an inch to an inch and a half at the circumference of the tyre.

Too dark now.Will look again tomorrow, but it feels backlashy. I'm fine if it doesn't get worse, but they seldomfix themselves. Suspect it will go from occasional to slightly more than occasional. Thanks for the help

Luzern in Switzerland. Absolutely roasting weather. Won't take long to run out of money here though.
