AlexC Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hey,Ever since I've had my Onza T-Pro my wheel will _always_ move across to the drive side and ends up touching the pads and the wheel will not even do a complete rotation if you try to spin it. I align the wheel up perfectly and tighten it all up, solid - the bolts are not loose at all, yet even if I just ride up the road and back again my wheel would have moved over and already touching the pads, that's without doing anything! Why is this? It's really annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rushton Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Have you checked if bearings are tight and checked cones? try wobbling your wheel if it moves when the bolts r tight then your bearings or cones aren't tight enough but don't over tighten them or the wheel will not go round freely.Hope this helps Matt Rushton.

anzo Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 urm...do you have chain tensioners?JKJesus christ you're not running the onza standard hub are you I'd check the cones, the tensioners wouldn't have that effect unless they're GROSSLY out of line with each other.

Fixed Pants™ Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 urm...do you have chain tensioners?JKSeconded. If not, go to your local bike shop and they should have a pair for about a fiver, that should sort ou tyour problem, but remember to get some heavy duty ones becaue of the strain us trials riders put on our bike parts.

AlexC Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Yes I do have tensioners on, I've checked the cones and they are fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Does it lock up when you spin the wheel by hand? Or just when you ride it?Have you tensioned your chain at all since you had it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Fried Rice Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 make sure the tugs are tight against the frame so it cant be moved anymore.reset them by loosen your tugs and the tighten them back in again, this way you know that they are tight on the frame so the wheel can't move..JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexC Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Does it lock up when you spin the wheel by hand? Or just when you ride it?Have you tensioned your chain at all since you had it? Yes it locks when I spin it by hand, and when I ride and coast a long I slow down pretty quickly. Which makes riding a trials bike to places even harder What do you do to 'reset' it into the centre? Undo the wheel bolts and tensioners, wiggle the wheel around a bit - then put it back straight and tighten everything back up. It's like an F1 pit stop I can do it so fast now as I have to do it before every ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Well, your chain tugs are obviously gay, no working chain tug shold let the wheel do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Loosen the axel bolts, then tighten the tensioners equally on both sides. A friend has a t-poo with a tensioner only on one side and experiances the same sorta problem but not to the same degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtrials Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) well your chain may be a link to long in which case the chain tugs will not work? if so take a link out and try to tighten it all again? if this is not the case loosen the wheel bolt, then tighten the chain tugs (align the wheel when doing this as well) then once the chain is tight enough, do the wheel bolts back up Edited October 27, 2006 by rwiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisholm Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) Hey mate,My profile mod hub did this a while back. When you are moving your wheel back center check if the sides of it a perfect flush with the side of your chainstay. Making the hub perfectly straight, Once it is adjust your pads to suit the new place of the wheel and tighten everything up to the max and your done.Hopefully that helped maybe a bit unclear add me to msn for more details and pics if your desperate.chisholm62@hotmail.co.ukCheersAidan Edited October 27, 2006 by chisholm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huge Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) I had the same problem with my standard onza t pro rear hub after around 2 months riding. I noticed it was graudally wandering to one side and also it became less easy to spin as I rode along. After about a fortnight the hub packed up completely and wouldnt turn at all. I opened it up to find that the bearings had dug a ridge across the inside of the hub and most of the bearing surface had worn away. The hub was un usable and I reccomend a new sealed bearing hub (such as the onza t master) before it locks up mid gap or at some other dangerous time...
