Jack Morton Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Smaller axle'd BB, Thinner chain ?. It's happening on my Limey aswel, i'm going to wrap a little bit of tape which you put on tennis rackets just too reduced wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happening on my Limey aswel, i'm going to wrap a little bit of tape which you put on tennis rackets just too reduced wear. smaller axle bb wont let my free wheel turn its a trial-tech lite chain, can u get a smaller one which is ok for trials? i need some of that tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Swapping to a 3/32" chain like the Lite or K810 will save you a couple of mm, which might be enough to make a difference. Other than that, a shorter BB, spacer behind your freewheel (if you've got room), or getting a TR sprocket (which has the teeth centrally mounted rather than offset). It sucks that they pretty much all involve money, but that's bikes I guess... EDIT: Simultaneous post = fail Spacer or TR sprocket may be the way.

matthew_coggan Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Correct me if am wrong as it might be a bad idea. have a slightly looser chain so it has more movement / flex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 What gearing are you using? Could be the size of the sprocket... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Im poor, so I used an old innertube, cut it up, and taped it round the frame where the chain was hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunt man t Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) What gearing are you using? Could be the size of the sprocket... 18T freewheel 12T sprocket Im poor, so I used an old innertube, cut it up, and taped it round the frame where the chain was hitting. did that work? wouldnt the chain just cut through the soft rubber inner tube and still cut the frame as the chain is in the same place? edit: isnt youres a full onza build (looks like it in your pic) so it sholudnt rub?

Theo Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) did that work? Seems to work for me only had it on a few weeks though, it may well need replacing if I never get a new chain, but there's only a few marks on the rubber so far I think it would be a good id to listen to the pros here though edit: I need a new chain, thats why it's rubbing at the moment. Should be one on it's way hopefully though! Edited April 20, 2010 by Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 The only 'tools' you need is a bit of spare chain and a vice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 and a tartybikes video guide Yep: http://tartybikes.co.uk/media.php?group=guides&id=1 - 1:30 Mins onwards. As said, a TR sprocket will probably do the job, or flipping your Trialtech one and sticking a slim spacer in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipod Bob Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) i obviously misread parts of this topic thanks to onzaboymark ill delete my unhelpful response, feel free to read it below Edited April 21, 2010 by Ipod Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 some one told me to turn the sprocket round, but ive tried it and then the chain hits the spoke heads I had this problem, just flip your 12t sprocket over should be fine, just watch it does rub on your spokes instead.
