Mumo Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hello, i bought an arcade recently, and when i was building te rear wheel part, i realized the chain tensioners doesnt fit in a clean way on in the drop-outs. I dont know if its just because its new, the paint volume, whatever. Every comment is welcome. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 It may just be down to paint thickness. Are they close to fitting? No obvious damage to the dropout itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 This mainly seems to be a problem on the red ones - the paint's pretty thick around the dropouts so it can take a little persuading to get the tug in there. If you want to make it easier you can file off a little bit of the paint on the inside face of the dropout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
