DL is well worth it, well the one i go to is... my dad managed to get all sorts of deals incl no sign on fee and x weeks free, plus a sighning up gift which was a bike a towel a bag and some other crap... thething is to keep them talking and talking and get a good deal

New problem...
Beacuase i grinded the sprocket down so that the chain would run striaght there wasn't enough thread left for the sprocket to grip, so it's stripped about 2mm of the hubs thread. I'm fed up of this bike (the little go i had on it though was great) so i just want it fixed so how much do you think it'll cost a bike shop to fix?
It shouldn't need a new hub i dont think, and i've probably lost the warranty of it...
-
I don't get dishing to be honest, but i've trued the wheel myself and the hubs central to the rim...
i've sorted the chain running at an angle but if you look at the sprocket when you turn the wheel the links inbetween the gaps end up sitting on a sprocket toothi'd get a picture but you can't see it very well....
for anyone whos interestedi sorted the chain by grinding down a tube to a 1.5mm spacer then i've turned the sprocket around(which might be why theres a problem with the chain not sittingt right?) so now the chains in line but maybe the sprocket needs to be the other way for it to allow the chain to sit right?

whats with the 6minutes of darkness at the end?

those websites are well confusing, wtf is cashback, how'd you actually get the money physically in front of you?! as witht eh surveys i keep trying to find one but it just keeps trying to get me to sign up to something else, i just want to tick a few boxes and get some money is that so hard to ask!?
-
i think it's slightly off and the camera angle intensifies the look of it being off, i think im going to have to get a new sprocket for it, but in the ideal world i'd rather borrow a few and have a mess about to see if its what i really need before spending 18 quid on something that wont help
-
second from bottom looks like (he's/your?) about to vomit after being hit in the balls by the stem.
Bikes look fit, nice and simple, none of this andonising shizz, soem noce riding aswell, get a vid out!

It looks like your wheel isn't straight or the sprocket is bend or not on proply.
it's on properly, don't think it's bent and the wheels straight, as a test my dad put a spacer in to make the chain run straight, which it did, it just doesn't sit right on the sprocket, going to buy the try all sprocket i think...
-
i've got a hardly used "asda" bike i'm not going to lie to you it's shit, but it'd be okay for pissing about on, but as soon as you got better it'd need replacing, everythings in great condition four footpegs, aluminium frame, rode like twice then stored in the shed, it's doing absolute nothing so any offer really
-
Try the above ensuring the wheel is in straight, but if you need a new BB to sort the problem it would be a longer one for definite(Y)
but you'd expect the onza bb to work when it's in an onza frame, i've tried using the old shot at onza bb but when you try the longer viz bb it doesnt look to bad but when yougive the cranks a whirl it sounds wrong, the problem is now that the chain isn't sitting right on the sprocket
-
dunno it this will work but try putting the snailcam on the outside on the non-driveside! might move the wheel over nd allign it better.
nope
Looking at that i would also say that the hub doesn't look straight in the frame, in the top pic it looks like the non drive side is further up the dropouts than the drive side.....Adam
it wasn't i don't think but have messed about with it so many times... it messes with your head.
Looking at the sprocket side of things the chain seems to be pushed towards the outside instead of sitting straight, would the try all sprocket eradicate this?
-
Not sure if they really show the problem but as i said it doesn't look too much of a problem but when you spin the crank the chain doesn't sit right on the sprocket.
just wandering now wether i need a new sprocket because if you look at the top picture it looks asthough the sprocket teeth need to be central like the try all sprocket is, please someone just say it just needs a new/different sprocket! i'm sick of seeing the bike, not sure if i even like it yet i might be selling it on!!!!!!
-
well to be honest it doesn't look to bad but when you spin it it sounds wrong, i think i might need a new sprocket as the chain doesn't fit right on it
-
would look nicer with a silver hub and do without those vee things on the forks, no need so grind the f**kers
-
actually... just thinking about it then with my dad, a shorter bb might work, but the bb i've got won't work with the cranks i've got thats 50 quid wasted and another 20 for the bb thats too f-ing long!
-
Says stock in your profile
Soz boz.
lol
just got a t-poo, problem after problem, must have got it 4 weeks ago, not been able to ride it yet
-
but if you think about it the previous owner ran the short onza bb and as far as i'm aware it was okay, so why would i need longer when i've already got a longer bb then it had before lmao
and single speed, mod isn't it....
-
Try a shorter bb
What rear hub are you using?
V!Z a shorter bb made it worse though... the freewheel needs coming out to line it up, i think?
-
not sure what you mean really, it fits in howver i compared the old bb to the new one and the new bb is slightly longer, but we did try the old one in and it still wouldnt run straight, was worse i think, which would proove the fact that the free wheel neds bring out a bit, but i tried that and it doesn't work
Edit- if it's any help it's a t-pro frame with sq taper V!Z bb
-
As title says i just can't manage to get my chain to run straight it sort of goes from the freewheel and about half an inch to the sprocket just bends.
It would be straight if you could screw the sprocket further on, and because i don't think i'd be able to cut the sprocket down and keep it all parallel i thought to put something in between the frame and bb cup therefore bringing the crank and freewheel out which in theory should make the chain run straight. But no, it doesn't...
Am really confused and fed up with it so any help would be much appreciated =/

depends on your budget and current spec.
if trials is too boring, cut your maggy cables see how more exhilarating it is now?
