chain popping
hey everyone,
i just put together my first fg conversion about a month ago. I was having alot of problems with the chain popping off on the chainring. I'm fairly certain that this was due to a less than perfect chain line, however after rearranging some spacers on the hub the frequency of that has gone down dramaticly (its happened once since). I have noticed the sound and feel associated with this popping a couple times without the actual effect of the chain leaving either the cog or chainring. What could be causing this? ryan |
Possible problems:
1. Chainline. 2. Loose Chain. 3. Your track nuts are loose? Or if you're using QR... yikes. 4. Ramped chain rings. 5. Not the best chain. I like 1/8" myself. 6. Kink in the chain? 7. Bent frame or chainring. Thats all I can think of. Hope this helps. |

furthermore, loose lockring. eccentric bb? if so is the unit tight enough? |
Thanks for the feedback, I think that a bent chainring is the culprit. It was on the bike when I got it at a flea market, but haven't had the $ to replace it yet. Looks like i'll have to tighten my belt a little. or can I fix this using brute force and a hammer?

i'd imagine you may be able to try to bend it slightly in a vice. i'd try to be gentle though.
