Mat Smith!! Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 How do you move the rear cog ? Take off rear wheel and there will be spacers with your cog in the middle, take away the spacers and the cog, put the spacers on and then the cog, or the other way depending which way your chain needs moving.Chain wrap is were the chain wraps around the cog, like if you have a chain tensioner which pushes downwards only half your chain might be touching the rear cog, but if it pushed up, it would wrap around most of the cog, it needs to wrap about half the cog for it not to fall off all the time.

oblongbob Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Right sorted its stopped skipping Cheers Had the same problem with my bike. Tried all sorts (new sprocket, chain, adjusting chain line and tensioner!) until finally taking a link out of the chain to get more chain wrap....magically fixed.Wish this had been on the forum a couple of weeks ago!

ogre Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I,m debating weather to move from a gusset fixed tensioner to a srung tensioner with a jockey wheel new to all this stock you see any advice?buy a sprung tentioner! not a rohloff, cause they suck for letting your adjust your chainline, a tensile/atomz/try all let you adjust the chainline, but you need to modify them if you want to get a really good tention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtchell Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Rights cheers orge,One last thing I need a bolt which connects the deraullier to the mech hanger I can't seem to find them on tarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 One last thing I need a bolt which connects the deraullier to the mech hanger I can't seem to find them on tartyChainring bolt Not actually essential because your wheel will hold it in place, but they are handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think he means the bolt that goes into the mech itself, to attach it onto the hanger. Chaining bolt would only work to attach the hanger to the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtchell Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 You have one bolt that attaches the hanger to the frames thats fine is thatthen you have a bolt which connects the deraullier to the mech hanger . thats the one i need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 They're usually part of the derailleur. Call to your local shop and ask them for a bent/broken derailleur before they throw it out and take the bolt off that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
