Chain catching swing-arm...
Posted: Fri Sep 20, 2013 9:30 am
Hi guys... Got a little dilemma...
Just got my replacement shock for my Divvy project, and it's just under 2" longer than the one I took off (10"), thus raising the back end, which I wanted...
However, I notice that because the rear end has dropped down, the chain now catches the plastic protective 'runner' on the swing-arm... There's a noticeable arc in the chain, so to speak...
So my question is, could this be rectified by sticking a larger rear, and/or front, sprocket on? If so, any size recommendations?
I'm also hoping that when my carcass is sat on the bike, this will straighten up the chain taking it off the swing-arm when riding...
Pics of said dilemma will be posted on my thread 'Project Divvy' over the weekend...
Cheers in advance...
