does the chain slip off while shifting on the six speed

I gave the bike as a gift last christmas to my neice and she has had no problems at all with it. Hope this helps.

Possibly. If your shifter has a "friction" mode, it will work with a 6 speed freewheel. In order to answer in more detail, we would need to know the brand, as suntour and shimano had different amounts of pull.

Yes, it is noticeable. 1 easy, 6 hard, but you have to pedal with the outer chainring.

Hi Theresa, I'm not familier with the Skyline which sounds like it has a 5 speed freewheel (sprocket on the rear wheel). This chain is actually designed for a 7 or 8 speed freewheel or cassete. It might be too narrow for a 5 speed and could possibly fall between gears on the front or rear. My suggestion would be to go to your local bike shop with your bike and your new chain and ask them. Good luck

No they do not shift gears. They go on the end of bullhorn style handlebars and are only for braking.

Mine has a 6t sprocket and 3/8 pitch which was oem it bar and chain works great

Definitely yes. The bike on which I use this freewheel has friction shifters.

No...this bike has only one gear. No shifting like on the ten speeds. As long as where you plan to ride is flat not a problem. Going up hills is a little tougher with only the one gear.The trade off is get more excercise...if exercise is a consideration.

There is a small drag from this style motor. The geared hub motor has no drag, but gears will eventually wear out

I've done it before without issues. Use a 9 speed chain to reduce the risk of rubbing between chain rings.

Something with chain maybe the alignment or your clutch is not pulling in far enough

why would you want a 7 speed mega range freewheel on a 6 speed bike?the 7th oversized mega cog wont even be accesable with 6 speed shifters and derailleur,why not get a 6 speed mega freewheel(shimano MF-TZ20 tourney 14-34 tooth 6 speed),make sure your shifters and derailleur are mega compatable!!!!!!!

I don't know for sure. there are three levels of tension in the front derailler to prevent rubbing on the derailler when the chain is at extremes but I do not think it is enough for three gears in the front.

Yes, left 3 and right 7, In my case I disassembled the right one and assembled in a way that it's not longer 7 speeds but "free travel" since my vintage bike used to have those "down tube" friction shifters and the rear wheel is 5 speeds, so basically it works like the old shifter but now I have the control on the handle bar.

I believe the photo is errant. What I received was a 7 speed. You definitely don't want to substitute an 8 speed on a 7 speed application. You'd have too much slack in the shifter cable (in position 8 on shifter) even if you adjusted the deraileur stops to avoid the chain falling off, and an annoying dead spot gathering up that slack when shifting back into the lower gears.

Frank, It's the right pitch, but it's too narrow. You need a 5-6 speed chain, which is slightly wider than the 7-8 speed chain. 7-8 sp. chain may go on, but it will probably bind on the sprockets.

well seeing as nobody else has answered your question properly...no. You have a 3x6 speed, so you'll need 3x6 shifters, unless you want an extra click in your shifters...you could also go and get a 7 speed rear cassette (which would also need a new rear wheel) and then, hey presto! more gears to play with! So, in short, this will not work properly.
