trialskidy Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Use snail cams or chain tugs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azarathal Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think he means it rubs when he puts power down rather than the wheel slipping. This could be down to either really flexy chain stays (not sure If a stiff 4bolt booster would help) or a flexy wheel, how loose are your spokes?

bike_dummie Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Cracked Chainstay? I think it was JMCD who also had a problem like this and it turned out to be cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob. Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 The frames not cracked its like new and there's nothing wrong with the spokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 could be a cracked hub axle then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Yoshi Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Check to see if there is anything cracked. Dont just say it was fine. Give it a good was down and take the wheel off and have a proper look around. Check the bearings and see if there is any play in then. Check the bolts for the hub and see if the threads are of and for cracks. And if everything is ok. Dish the wheel a wee bit to the left side so it doesnt hit on the chain stay. Thats what I did when I had this issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob. Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) What frame and wheelbuild setup have you got? one of them bionic b5r-6 with same geo as a sky 2 and im running full tryall wheels, as for checking for cracks i have and there is none of them to be seen Edited January 27, 2013 by Rob.

FamilyBiker Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) could someone else help please? or at least give some useful info. what makes you declare my help as useless?i´m just going through the possibilities as you describe your problem a bit wobbly,if somethings not working properly,theres something technically wrong,think you agree with this. as yoshi said,take every part involved apart and you will be most likely to find your problem.to be honest i assumed things were taken apart befor saying its"fine" :wink2: edit:you´ll find a cracked axle only if you take your axle off,they often crack on the inner bearing flange edit 2:seeing the pic i think youll have to tension the left side spokes a bit more.

onzatrip Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Try spacing the wheel out more like a spacer between the hub and frame, I had to with my bionic, the power would move the wheel forward until I put a spacer in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thats a tight fit! Try what Onzatrip says. Could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Is there a smaller dia tyre you could run? I was gonna suggest cutting the side knobbles down but that is so tight I dont think it'd make much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) is that the stock config of that bike? the tyre/frame clearance is pretty overkill from the start,it´d wonder me if you get this sorted without changing the tyre beat me to it.^^ Edited January 27, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) as in "was already on a full bike". i couldnt get anything bigger in my 24 than a 2.5 tyrebecause of the chainstay length and the tyres height,my built clearance is 2.7 though. in some cases it just doesnt fit,you cant force it :wink2: Edited January 27, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
