missionmod Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yer its jsut weres its a bit lose. When you kick the chain tightens and wobbles, thats what makes the noise .liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 When you kick the chain suddenly takes up all the power and "snaps" taught. Increases the load because its such an abrupt force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) What Da Bomb bike do you have?, it may not be the chain it might be them Acs Freewheels they put on them.They always come loose, have you had previous problems with them before and how long have you had the bike?

BenLeacock™ Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Do you ride using a chain tensioner ? Maybe if you dont invest in one. This will stop the wheel moving and the chain bouncing Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 i'd get down to your local bike shop and get em to check the chain life, and give you advice on tensioners or summit, its difficult to say anything about your problem without seeing the bike in person, your local bike shops your best bet m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
