Conor the basher. Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 (edited) Yo all.Right so i got a khe chain from tarty the other day but it had so many stifflinks it made my bike skip alot so i had a look on crc and i decided to buy a whipperman bmx chain, there meant to be the strongest chain out there So i got this chain and fitted it to my bike and it is still skipping but even worse this time ive tryed basically everything i can think of.....Ive changed my tentioner to a super doop wide one so the chain dosent rub.Ive made sure that my chain line is perfectly straight.Ive ground down the inside of the bash so the chain cant catch on it.Ive made sure the chain is lubed up has no stiff links and all the pins are in correctly.Ive made sure that thefront sprocket is fine and clean.I really dont no what to do every time i put presure down it skips loads ont even at one place, im going to change the rear sprocket but i cant see that being the problem .............Oh yeah i am running echo cnc cranks tensile bash and atoms sproket.cheers conor.p.s: sorry about the spelling the spell checker thing dosent work, and wont let me download it (((Edit: Here is the chain http://chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11288 Edited November 10, 2007 by koxx 20" 26" rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 It will be the rear sproket that is the problem. Is it a casset cog? the problem will be if it is that your trying to use a bmx chain on a mountainbike casset cog. Buy a surley sprocket and your khe should run fine.

If you dont no how to get rid of the stiff links then get the chain in your hand where the link is and put your thumbs either side and pish and pull the chain bending it eventually the link will become free.

basher Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 They have deeper teeth which suits a bmx chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam-pantera Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Whats so good about them ?????? how will it solve the problem lol ? surly sprockets have deaper and wide teeth meaning the chain will grip better around the cog aslo the sprocket has a wide base to reduce damage to the freehub body .

Andeee Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Yo i got a surly rear sprocket and made my chain shoter and it sorted it oh and i got a new chai )Im concerned it could be the links when i fitted it today it was a long chain i must of took out atleast 8-9 links. How many links are ment to be wrapped around the cog? I dont want to go through the hassle of spending money on my bike as i need to save for stuff none bike related im just trying to solve this problem cheaply.

Conor the basher. Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hmm has th chain got pleanty of tention ? and is it wraped around the cog quite alot some pics would be good ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hmm has th chain got pleanty of tention ? and is it wraped around the cog quite alot some pics would be good ?It has got reasonable tension its not too tight or too slack its an 18t cog so its bound to wrap around very well with me using an additional 22t front ring im concerned its my tensioner with a fault but not sure. Im just trying to get a quick soloution to bed it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
