|   SS CX bike - chain and frame torque question | climbo
Sep 23, 2003 5:54 AM | | I have a 70's Falcon which I rode fixed gear on all year, I converted it to a SS CX bike recently and have a chain drop issue. All works great until I climb something very steep and am cranking very hard on the pedals. I think what's happening is I twist the frame just enough to make the chainline off center and the force on it at the same time makes the chain slide off the freewheel (the chain always goes off to the inside which is why I think this is the problem).
It's almost in slow motion as I'm climbing quite slowly when it happens but apart from trying to make the chain a little tighter, any other possible solutions for this? I really don't want to drop my chain in any races which start in 2 weeks. |
