Luke Dunstan Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Trying to fit my chain to the Echo 24". cut chain to length, and the tyre rubs on the frame, add an extra link and the wheel sits too far back so that it's almost out of the drop outs. Any suggestions on sorting it out, without paying out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Which ratio are you running? With 18:14 with a new chain it was perfect, and I think it worked with 18:13 too (although it sat a few mm further back in the dropouts).

Daniel Gray Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yo should be aright Luke, just pull the wheel back as far as possible, or if not get a half link adapter thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yo should be aright Luke, just pull the wheel back as far as possible, or if not get a half link adapter thing. Just nipped out and bought a half link chain, works beautifully. You planning on riding any time soon buddy? Which ratio are you running? With 18:14 with a new chain it was perfect, and I think it worked with 18:13 too (although it sat a few mm further back in the dropouts). 18:14 Using the trialtech chain. Probably me overlooking something simple. Wacked a half link on there, and it fits perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Is it a new chain or an old one? And is it the Kool or the 'Lite'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Is it a new chain or an old one? And is it the Kool or the 'Lite'? Fairly new to be honest, no more than 2 months old. And it was a Z610. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Which tyre, too? Ta. Edit: 2.4 Holy Roller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Which tyre, too? Ta. Edit: 2.4 Holy Roller? Yes, 2.4 Holy Roller fir pretty snug. But when It's when I changed to the 2.7 High Roller when I got the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
