Jul 23, 2003 12:27 PM | | I have a singleator on my Trek ss and I took it for its first trail ride today and it pops alot on hard hard pedals. I have it setup so it pushes down on the chaiin like a derailler. Is their any solving this? |

However, it may mean that the chain rubs the chain stay in the ring/sprocket combo you use. Going to a bigger chain ring and sprocket - 34 tooth ring - solved that problem. No problems now. Well, almost no problems. |

Jul 23, 2003 3:08 PM | | I think i have my other spring to push it up still. I might try it i will try adjusting my chainline as straight as i can and if it still pops I will try pushing up when i get the dough for diff rings then. |

Jul 23, 2003 8:44 PM | | May just be the wrong combo of chainrings/chainstay length. I was using a 36x18 and it skipped out like crazy when I really needed it. Basically when I stomped on it to climb a hill it would skip sporadically. My chainline was spot-on. Might have worked better in push up, so as to have more teeth engaged on the cog. I personally didn't give it another chance as I had a Soulcraft "Convert" on order.
If you want to make it work, then get more teeth in the mix. Also, a mrp roller mod seems like a good addition. Haven't tried it personally, but it looks like the best method to run. Basically you end up with an mrp roller (=quiet), push up engagement (=more teeth on the chain), and spring loaded (=chain in tension, so no need to worry about tight or loose). |
