J Trials 31 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 When you put the wheel in the frame it is not straight. What was Deng thinking or smoking rather? So you have to super adjust your brakes and have a half-link chain with the gears I'm running. Just broke a chain twice this week and now I gotta buy more stuff for this bike. Man, feels like it just eats my wallet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sure your wheels dished propperly? I have an A3 and never had those problems. You running cams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 what gear are you running? most mod frames are made to suite 18-12 you chain could just be over stretched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 If you want to check whether the frame alignment is correct, get some string and run it from the outside of the left dropout, around the front of the headtube and back to the outside of the right dropout. Measure from the string to the seat tube/seatstays on both sides. If the distances are significantly different then the frame alignment is out.

J Trials 31 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Wheels are not true. That might have something to do with it? Running 18-12 gears. Could possibly have an overstretched chain. Ordered a bunch of half-links so they should be in tommorow. Also, got another chain to try today. Oh, also running V!Z snail cams. They suck I do believe. Will probably try that thing with the string. Just need to find a string long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 wheel rubs the frame... lol even if the frame wasnt strait, with horizontal drop outs you could still set the wheel up strait so it doesnt rub lmao learn to set up snail cams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
