dann2707 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Hey. I'm setting up my bike with the brakes and the chain tension to get everything perfect. It's the ice so it has inbuilt tensioners with the brug screws that go through the dropouts. How are people using onza's tensioning system to it's full potential? How do you know when the wheel is exactly in the middle? Atm i'm measuring the rims edge with a steel ruler referencing it to where the brake mounts are either side, is there a better place to measure? Also I'm struggling when tightening it up, when I get it all perfect with the brakes and chain tension when I tighten up the hub bolts it just tightens towards one way and it's like I have to over compensate on one side, bit of a bast to explain at this time. Basically how do you do it? Cheers Edited July 17, 2013 by dann2707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Have the wheel as forward as it will go centre, Then set up the drive side first by gradually pulling the wheel back with the tensioners on that side. Also undo the hub bolts very slightly so there's just enough slack for the tensioners to work, But not enough the frame starts to bend outwards. few simple little tips but so effective!

Azarathal Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Line it up by eyesight or do it the lazy way and run it slammed with a spoke tensioner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sounds like you need to pull the wheel inwards while you tighten the bolts. To stop it moving around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Remember, after you've tightened your axle bolt, screw the grub screws up again a little bit tighter before you do the little nut up! This will ensure there is no slippage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
