swingarm hub and chain Hello I need some help, as I am not sure why this would happen. Took the bike for a spin up the road, and the chain slowly became very loose, so I undid the two main swingarm bolts and adjusted the hub to tighten the chain. All ok then the same thing happened again. I have checked the locking nut on the side of the swinging arm (although I never removed it) Something is not right, with the hub any ideas? :confused: regards TopiToo |
It sounds like your eccentric hub is in the top 1-2 o'clock position instead of the correct lower 4-5 o'clock position. Both positions give the same chain freeplay but the torque-induced tension at the upper position tends to loosen the chain if the hub eccentric rotates. |
Steve, as Shazaam says; if it is in the wrong position I seem to recall that the caliper mounting bolts are more diificult to access. Pete |
Hello Shazaam/PeteB Problem now fixed, it was indeed as Shazaam suggested, Thankyou. TopiToo |
