Little Yoshi Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Last night my bike popped the chain off. It pushed the to links to outwards so the pin just fell off. Thought a stone had got stuck between the teeth and caused it. But it has just gone and did it again to a diff chain. Wat could be causing this?

Mark W Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Poor chainline usually - are you using a split-link or joining it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Yoshi Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Bent teeth? All look fine. use a split link its the best way Bah cant be bothered with the. Think I may know what the problem is. Only started to tighting my chain up to how its ment to be. So could be that the chain line is abit off and the slack chain was letting me off with it.

Ben John - Hynes Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Make sure you don't form a stiff link when you put the chain together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Make sure you don't form a stiff link when you put the chain together. Pro tip: flex a chain side to side with the a stiff link in the middle to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Yoshi Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I just kept moving it till it got lose again. One of the chains was only 1 ride old though. and only cycled about 100 yards on it before it popped. So to sort the chain line problem. Do i need to get a new bb? Or can i get a spacer for the back sporket to kick it out about? Its a screw on cog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
