Big_oll Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Ok, so i've got a revell frame and bought a KMC kool chain so i could run it single speed without a tensioner. Taking a link out left the chain too short and leaving one in left the chain too long. I bought a half link and the wheel seems to be in the right place now, however, my tyre is rubbing on the gusset between the chainstays.I'm running a Halo Combat rim with a tioga factory crappy tyre, would a new tyre solve this problem? As in would it leave more tyre clearence as the tioga seems quite big off the rim.Or would running a wider rim give me more trye clearence. The rim i'm using is 36mm wide.Cheers guys,Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMunn Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Use bmx style tensioners, if not then get a smaller tyre. Something like a maxxis 2.35 would be fine in there I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
