isitafox Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yeah was thinking if you had a centred one then getting an offset one would cure it but obviously not if thats what you've already got. One last question for you, sorry to be a pain but this is really annoying me an wanna get it sorted for you, I know how pissed off I'd be if it were me! What is the width of the bottom bracket shell? It sounds like a different bottom bracket may be the cure, if the shell is 68mm then you're best finding a 68mm BB rather than a 73mm with a spacer and maybe running a 122.5mm length axle instead of 128mm. If you really want the best advice I'd ring up tartybikes in the morning and tell them your spec, they should be able to tell you what will work and then get hold of rock and roll bikes and tell them the setup they advised doesn't work and try and get a refund on the BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftspeed star Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Ok thanks, We've taken the spacer out of the bb and really put some pain on while tightening up the arms and it now seems to be running more inline. I think that could possibly be the problem, the shell (i take it that is the part of the frame where the bb goes) is 68mm and there was something on the bb about 68mm and 73mm with spacer/without spacer. Don't fancy trying to get the arms off again, without the proper tool. I'll give Rock N Roll a ring tomorrow and see what they say. Thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yup that sounds about right, see what r n r say tomorrow. If they're any good they should try and help you put it right seen as its them who advised you to buy that setup. If you do manage to blag a refund may I suggest either the Echo TR ISIS bb or the Tryall one, got one of each myself an they're spot on, especially the tryall as the bearings are replaceable as are the cups that hold it in (in case you butcher the teeth fitting it like I did!)

swiftspeed star Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Took my back wheel out and put spacers in the back wheel so now the chain is straight but the clunk is still there we have put it down to a bearing in the back wheel does anyone know how to go about replacing them.

isitafox Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 May just need the cones tightening but I don't know how to do it as I've always run sealed hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiftspeed star Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 the bb is as tight as it will go and it still clunks when the bike isnt moving at all. Thanks anyway Swift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull-will Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 have you checked the chain? cus a mate of mine his chain was catching on the bash guard... so as he pedaled the chain caught the bash and then as the pressure built up the chain was pulled out making a sort of clunking noise.... hope that might help will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 its more likely the hub, ball bearing hopped out of mine and then made a funny noise, take it apart and make sure the correct amount of ball bearings are in and grease everything up.
