Matthew_Gibson Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Right, I got a new chian the other day, cut it to size, same size as the one thta was on before. Put the rear wheel on, chain on. Then went about tensioning the chain. Simple you think........No! When I have the chain nice and tight, then I notice the wheels but in stright(looking from behind off to the left, and rubbing on the booster. When the wheels in stright the chian is too loose and hits the chainstays. It moves over to the left when I adjust the left snail cam. But it never moves over to the right when I adjust the right snail cam. What can I do? live with it, take a few more links out of the chain. I hate a loose chain. Thanks!

Charlie Jennings Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 What tensioners are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.loves.boys Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Do one side up move one side then do it again on the other side.you get me?lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy04 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I dont use snail cams just standard bmx tensioners but i would tighten the right side up completely so you get the chain how you want it....loosen it off a tiny ammount an then start tightening the left side to straighten the wheel but you will have to gradually loosen the right side off otherwise the chain will become extremely tight. That is if snail cams work like that if not then i suggest just getting some normal style tensioners. Simplicity works in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
