AdamAllen Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Wont be alright. Happened to my mate. think it lasted him 4 days max. Has had to have rods put in and welded up, amazing job though, would never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 get a shorter bb maybe? dont really know what you could do the frames designed weird, maybe just run a slacker chain? and a protector. rear tyre looks cool . Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 massive effort + loads of holes= 22g saved nice. thing that worried me about the "rub" was that steve isn't running a booster and theres a fair amount of flex in the seatstays...where the wear is... hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Meh, had that on my Python.. Nothing to worry about, Danny Swindlehurst has that now and it hasn't died yet, so it musn't be to much of a problem.

mountian goat Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 i hope this isnt bad becuase it is happing to me on my gu 08 so i cut a thick intube and cable tied it round my frame works great but i think if i got a 18th freewheel on the front and a 12th fixed on the rear then it might make it lower and not hit the frame would this help? cheers lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cristoff Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Wont be alright. Happened to my mate. think it lasted him 4 days max. Has had to have rods put in and welded up, amazing job though, would never know. It will be alright, i had that on my 06 typhoon, exept it went through the frame, and made a hole I swapped it for a 07 python, and i think that it is still going strong to this day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 My chain ate my chainstay too, A massive long groove a few mm deep. And now it's not rubbing anymore nothing has happened and has lasted months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
