  1. The advice was not to worry about it and ride it. It's fine as shown in the pictures/video. Chain line might not be perfect but that was just me being over-zealous I guess. Also, I only ever messed with bikes with derailleurs and thinner chains, where the chain is either dead straight or ends up jumping all the time. I went for a first test ride today and indeed it was perfectly fine. Thanks everyone for the advice and support!
  2. Cheers guys for clearing this up for me. Thumbs up for TartyBikes after-sales support, super quick and helpful. This is a pic that shows how I would have it set up for the sprocket to clear the chainstay (by barely a mm maybe..) If you say it's fine I'll stop worrying about it. I just did not want to do something stupid and go out and damage the new bike straight away by riding it whilst badly adjusted. And yes, you're right.. I come from a mountain-biking backgroud so I'm just totally ignorant about how a trials bike is set up correctly.
  3. Hi Everyone, I've just bought a brand new Fourplay Pro 24'', can't wait to be able to ride it, but I came up against an issue when putting it together from the delivery box. Basically the lower sprocket of the chain tensioner rubs against the chainstay if aligned correctly. If I move it inwards a few mm then it does not rub (but it's very close indeed), but the chain is not in line any more and I'm sure it would end up wearing badly very quickly if used that way. See pic, and a youtube video with no rubbing bad "bad" chain line. My question is: how do I solve this? I'm going to call TartyBikes (I got it from there), but I believe the problem is that the chain is a few links short, if it was longer than the tensioner would be a bit more relaxed, and the lower sprocket would stay well BELOW the chainstay. Any other ideas? Am I missing something obvious? I've never had a single speed bike with tensioner before so I'm very new to this and could just be doing something very silly... cheers!
