TJ. Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) I had mega chain stretch and it started eating my frame away so i took 8 links out of my chain (yes 8 full links) then I just back hopped lots and hopped up a like foot high wall and rolled off a 3 or 4 foot wall then saw that open up and its cracked nearly all the way round with a hairline crack now.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Looks like your chainring/bashguard has been eating away at that for a long time...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ. Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) was the chain folding up and eating it, and only about 3 weeks and i ride twice a week in the evenings. Its hard to explain. Edited April 29, 2009 by TJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Powell Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 What the hell are you on about? i can't make any sense out what your saying. how can you chain it away at a frame Vertically when the chain runs horizontally, It must be you chain ring/freewheel/bash rubbing against it.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 When the chain is too long/stretched, it can get caught between then chainring and the chainstay, thus chewing big f**k off chunks out of it causing it to snap.

TJ. Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 The chain ring was damaged so as you peddled the chain was sticking on one tooth of the chain ring so instead of the chain passing over and away from the chain ring it stayed on the chain ring so as that tooth passed the frame the chain doubled over and went with the chain ring round instead of passing back towards the rear cog on the bottom and it jammed against the chain stay and the chain ring because it was doubled over. if that makes sense?

Prawny Baby Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 What the hell are you on about? i can't make any sense out what your saying. how can you chain it away at a frame Vertically when the chain runs horizontally, It must be you chain ring/freewheel/bash rubbing against it.It's pretty obvious Connor, TJ just hasn't explained it exactly right.He had a bent chainring yonks ago, which seemed to be causing chainsuck regularly, and due to the mega long standard chain he was running, the chainsuck was able to get pretty far and mash into the frame.As I'm sure you know, chainsuck is the chain picking up on a tooth when it should be dropping off the cog.There's actually a fair bit of clearence for the chainring itself on TJ's bike, but as on just about any trials frame ever made, chain suck will always end in chain/stay war.Sadly, had someone with a bit more experience noticed this earlier, TJ's frame would more than likely still be fine.However, it's a nice excuse to upgrade If you want help building up a new frame I'm home in about 3 weeks TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) Yar har, I had exactly the same problem 4-5 years ago on my Saracen Mad 2 Six and a new chainring sorted it out fine, so why haven't Phase / Mad / Saracen / Whatever, realised this problem and upgraded the chainring to be more durable / better machined to avoid chain suck?
