Themistoklidis Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Hey guys,i recently bought an inspired fourplay frame,and as my previous bike was an onza zoot 2010,i put all the parts from the onza to the inspired frame.The problem i have is that now that i put all the parts on the new frame,my chain line is quite offset as the bb shell is wider than the old one(my freewheel is non aligned with my rear cog,resulting in making the bike unrideable)My question is,what should i do?should i go for a new bb,or a new hub?are there any modifications i can do so i dont have to buy new parts? Thanks in advance. Edited January 21, 2011 by BikeTrialsInGreece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny--Trials Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 What rear cog do you have and which way round is it? Which way does your chain bend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themistoklidis Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 What rear cog do you have and which way round is it? Which way does your chain bend? Onza cog,12 tooth,and the chain bends towards the crank(the freewheel is at the right of the cog from a rear view)what do you mean by wich way round is it?

On most cogs, the teeth are on one side and the threads are on the oter side. If the 'thread side' is on the right of the hub and it still wont budge, you may need a shorter bottom bracket. Like this. Edited January 22, 2011 by Kenny--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like the left cog in the picture...Anyway,I found out what was causing it,there was a spacer in the bottom bracket,so i removed it and its ok now.Thank you all for your replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say the one on the left what do you mean? Are the teeth closer to the spokes or the frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
