lankyri Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 foir once my bike has been runnig really smoothly for the past month, all of a sudden my rear mech moves up towards the frame when i pedal hop why is this doin this the chain line is perfectly straight but its really scary because i cant get the engagement because when the the mech move upwards the chain slacks so it feels like its not engaging. if i take some links out of the chain will this prevent this from happening again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipkickbs Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 If your mech is locked out then just pull it down further from he frame and tighten the hanger bolt up good and propper, should hold it in place. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASETA26ER Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) tighten it as much as you can but make sure you dont brake your mech hanger/bolt.. >_< Edited October 19, 2005 by BASETA26ER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Geary Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 don't tighten it to tight or else you might cross thread it as it's only aliminum thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flower Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 he cant tighten it because where that bolt sits on the hanger it has a piece of metal missing so it spins round on the mech until it feels like stopping. However this is a really small bit, Plus his chain is long enough for 2 bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
