crispyboy Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 spacer inbetween the bb and frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey-uk Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Maybe tightening your chain pulled the spocket at a slight angle? If it was in the slightest bit loose it has slight freedom to move. Slack off the chain, tighten crank bolt as much as possible, tighten chain again and check to see if it still rubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Bent BB? Unlikely especially if ISIS. Loose crank and the chain tightening has pulled it to a funny angle? Bent/twisted crank arm? Any big drops recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'd take the crank arm off and spin the BB, sounds like it's bent, however it's unlikely. Unless the crank arm is loose, having a tight chain won't make an impact. So yeh, check it's all tight first, then next I'd try a BB spacer, if that doesn't work then a 128mm BB. If the BB is bent, you could rotate both cranks round like 90 degrees so instead of the bend making it closer to the frame, it would just tilt the crank arm to the side.

matthew_coggan Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 It might be a bent crank, if you have had a bad fall of it, or chucked it on the floor. Same thing happend to my mate he just put a screw driver between the frame and crank and pulled it back and straightened it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan S Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Reset TI BB, Monty cranks, Rockman manus - Plenty of space between crank and a chainstay. I don't know what is the problem with all other frames.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 i saww that the pedal was going throw the cranks too fare and gringing the frame every time a revoloution,so I ground it off,prob solved lol. That made no sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 How much clearance do you have on the left John? Probably worth sticking a slim spacer between the drive side BB cup and the frame. Second best would be removing a bit of material from the back of the crank arm if you are confident with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
