Have you got a spring tensioner or horizontal dropouts? Could be a problem with the spring tensioner. Mine did this. Chain kept catching on the tensioner was pulling it up making the chain go real slack. Make sure you chain is tight

my chain kept skipping but it was my bottom bracket worn on one side. never heard of it happening and no one seemed to be able to figure it out. it was throwing out the front chain ring and mashing the teeth into the chain. sooo random Big Grin

mine wasnt that far worn down, but just enough that the front chain ring was a bit off centre. gradually the chain wore down the cog teeth and every so often it skipped, or jammed suddenly. its a pain to find out really. takes the piss when you keep dropping bits of chain everywhere Smile
