vongar_kuu Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Had a little problem on a test ride of my new (old but much modified rig). I have horizontal drop-outs and running SS without tensioner. What seemed to happen is when i backpedal (i think its just when i backpedal) the chain partially comes off the rear sprocket and clunks back down. I've aligned the wheels and im hoping that it will be sorted. Will chain tugs be an end to this do you think?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Is the chain loose?Is the chainline squint atall?Is the chain old and worn out/streached?Could be one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vongar_kuu Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 It's so damn annoying though. As soon as im rebounding off a stall it just seems to clunk and i fear for my face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Aslong as the chains tight it wont come off the sprockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vongar_kuu Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 But what about my wheel moving?It went from being straight - | | -- | | -to being wonky- \ \ -- \ \-Also, the side that had moved was the drive side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Get some chain tensioners then and it wont move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
