Ben H! Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 hi people i seem to be having problems with my back wheel instead of the wheel being centered in the middle when you ride the bike it has a habit off moving over to one side and then rubbing against the chainstay at first i thought it was something to do with the axle bolts but i'm not 100% sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 That's what the snail cams are for. Set the chain tension with the one on the right, get the wheel centred using the one on the left and then tighten everything up- should then stay in place.

higgzGU! Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 cheers mate i've sorted it now, all down to a few washers.Alright that is good, How what was wrong were there not enough washers on it so it wasnt going tight enough, So it was moving ?Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 You might have bent the rear of your frame, happened to me on my jump bike.A tip for you always look for the simple small solution first and then rule them out before you go thinking something like that and buying a new frame. The chances of a rear end twisting are slim and if they did you would see stress marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
