Joshzyx Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I recently had to take my back wheel off to replace my inner tube, before I did this my chain ran fine over my chain tensioner without any problems. But since I have put me rear tyre back on, the chain seems to be pulling away from the frame on the chain tensioner (note: I have a fixed tensioner). This causes the chain to catch on the rear cog and locks the chain up until it hops down with force. Anyone got any sort of idea what might have happened and how to fix it? Thanks for your help.

isitafox Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Looks like it should run fine from them pics, is the rear cog worn and that's whats holding it as the tensioner shouldn't reslly be able to pull it into the chainstay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshzyx Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 no a only recently got that rear cog, ill have a look at it, but it barely been riden on. Its strange, when i pedal in the opposite direction, it sits beautifully in the middle of the tensioner wheel, but when i pedal forward, it mores down to the chainstay as if it is tapered down.
