BigAl Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 It might be because you've got a 13t on the back, im sure they're designed for 18-12... But yeah get some pics up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to what we say, because you will end up having a shit, snapped in half cs. Get a 12tooth cog, for 2 simple reasons: A; so you have a chainstay, and B; so you can ride better, getting more power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith!! Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) If your not gonna do that, atleast put abit of tape over it, or some foam or something, chainstay protector or anything, just to stop it getting even worse.

Ullapool Trials Rider Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Are you sure about that?Yeah see what you mean. Obviously if you use a longer bottom bracket the chain will rub even worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
