az_zoo Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 The width from each chainstay on my bike is very small so the wheel has to be inline perfect otherwise it rubs. I can set up the wheel just fine but when i kick on the cranks it pulls the wheel out of line. P.S yes i do have chain tugs.please can you help me?

N.Wood Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Without sounding like a 'tard, try tightening the bolts up harder? Don't swing off the wrench, but you know...There's my useful contribution for the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petit_pablo Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Its possible your spokes arent tight enough and when powering down the wheel is bending a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philking Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 My spokes are tight because there my new monty wheel setDoesn't mean they are tight He might be right you know. If we are talking a matter of a couple of milimeters then it could be the rim moving slightly from side to side (cos of not tight enough spokes). If not that then maybe it is your hub bearings coming loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_zoo Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Well im vey certain the spokes are not loose but ill check cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Cones loose? That's if they're unsealed...A new wheelset shouldn't have loose spokes though errrrm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Lose spokes, flexy frame, rim not center to hub, hub bolts not tight enough??Are you running some kind of chain tensioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 if your relying upon mm for starters thats never good. it means your set up is always going to have to be perfect. even a small drop can affect your wheel by mm's which means during rides its always going to be a pain in the asS!!! but may be your frame flexing does it rub when just cruising in a line? without pressure upon the frame?

Sam Oliver Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Could be a few things, what sort of bolts has is got? Has it got lge washer's ?Counter sunk allen key bolts with the grippy washers ? Are the spacers inside the frame even on both sides? If not add a washer or two !This makes the wheel pull even when tightened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) Here's my tip.I had the same sort of problem, but it was the wheel rubbing on my brake pads becuase they were set sooo close to the wheel.So, set the wheel up as best you can. Tighten up the bolts etc etc. And ride about and jump about on the back wheel like a mad man.Then if the wheel is off, tighten the chain tuggs (with the wheel bolts still tight) respectively*. This way, when you ride, the wheel will stay put.Tried and tested method.* If it's rubbing on the left righting the right tugg and visa vera. Edited January 25, 2006 by JT!
