spacers for rear wheel
so my chain isnt straight, it curves into the cog, do you guys know any good spacers i can add to space the cog out so my chain wont curve anymore, but instead; be straight.
|
by roughly how much does the chain need to be moved over?
|
are you trying to space the axle or the cog? what hub are you using?
|
A picture speaks a thousand words, and a million noobie words.
|
Use not spacered-cogs; chainrings should move. If you'rs is on outside spider, move it onto the inside of the chainring spider. That way chain will go straight to cog, not curve.

heres a pic for preference

I think get shorter Bottom bracket. It likely will fix problems.
|

|

Mikeee, try taking it to the bike shop, say you want a shorter bottom bracket and they should be able to figure out what type and size to get. |
Is your chainring on the inside of the spider?
|
yeah thats my chainring inside my spider
|
looks like a conversion, is it perhaps an old 12 speed, and spaced 126mm in the back?
it looks like you have a fat amount of spacers on the drive side between the locknut and the cone, looks like you could pull some off the drive side and put them on the non drive side, effectively moving your cog or freewheel more to the outside. can't tell for sure though. I needed to space my 120 spaced hub to 126 for my conversion. threw three washers (I believe M9 but I can't remember, maybe M10. it is a 10mm axle) on the non drive side and it fixed my chainline to use the outside portion of the spider for my road double. |
get longer chainring bolts and space the chainring in
|
i flipped my chainring to the outside of my spider just now; more pics for help,
