Ok chaps my dilemma................

Virtually finished my very first rebuild so after wacking the last bits together i decided to take this puppy for a quick spin. bad points picked up.........

My chain ring and Power disc which are both straight had a massive wobble in it, when looking down on it, it went from left to right. I have removed some bits from the Flights and it is now 10x better but there is still a small wobble. How do you get these things to run true.

I had occasional clicking which i thought was from the crank but have now realised its from the rear hub, will investigate more tomorrow when less stressed.

Also the chain runs very very close to the rear dropout bits near the freewheel, enough to touch the frame at certain bits because of the slight twist in the front sprocket end. I dont have washers on the inside of the rear dropouts as of yet but i think if i do this may sort this problem as the frame will be spaced a bit further away from the chain.

Any of you guys have any answers to my problems, i've had to put the bike down now as i've been working on this problem for over 3 hours with no solution.

Cheers :'( :'( :'(

adeshere:
The clicking could just be where your chain is going tight with the movement of your chain wheel.

andy have you got a hat type washer on your chainring ? just a thought ,

southern andy:
Dont know what that is Paul. :LolLolLolLol: I had a black thing that was going from the crank arm to the power disc but i have now removed that and it seems to be a lot better without it.
The arm now bolts straight to the disc.

EDIT>>>>>>>>>> Just did a search and yes i am using one of them, it fis into the power disc to keep it straight ?????? Y/N ???

I'm using it anyway.

zed4130:
it goes in the hole in the center of the chainring, so it fits nice on the axel :daumenhoch: without the chainring moves about :)
