Bit of a tight spot (in chain)

<< < (2/7) > >>

LucyLastic:
This is caused by a warped chainring, I believe (but could be wrong).  I think you can get rid of the problem by putting spacers/washers on some of the bolts.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I have the same problem on my Haro.

Bob_Acid:
Does it have a spider/chain ring set up?

sweetbeats:
This is the set up,dont think it is the chainring as it was brand new and the powedisc is minty too...checked wheel and looks pretty square...do you think the problem will ride out..I only built this last week and already i am thinking of selling it...it is just making me angrier and angrier :D even looking at this picture i want to smash it up :4_17_5:



any old freekin iron!

subversion:
More than likely the chainring & spider on the crank slightly off centre. you can mess about with it to improve things by loosening off the chainwheel bolts & retightening them (without the chain on) & also loosen & retighten the spider on the cranks. Also watch your freewheel whilst cranking the pedals backwards & forwards, is there any 'wobble' in the freewheel at all?

LucyLastic:
I have the exact same mirage disk and sugino chain ring, one of them will definitely be warped slightly, a washer should fix it.  Am I right, Bob?
