N.Wood Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Right so I got myself a Control after my Yaabaa snapped. Running 18:15 with Trialtech Lite chain, HS33s with TNN mounts, try-All 2 bolt booster and Hole rim/Der Kaiser rear tyre. My problem is that with the correct tension in the chain (and enough room for the tyre), the mounts do not line up with the rim. The mounts could do with being welded 5mm lower. With the TNN clamps at their limit adjusted all the way down, the pads rub on the tyre about 2-3mm. So, 2 ways around it - Move wheel forward in dropouts and use 74 Kingz style tensioner on the chain, or cut out the top part of the brake clamp to give more travel. Anyone have this problem/got around it? Any problems with cutting the top part out of the brake clamp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxRogers Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Tried one of these? To make your chain just that little bit smaller. Or would that cause your tyre to rub? Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I say put the wheel forward just enough for the pads to be in the right place and make a spoke tensioner. Very easy and free (if you have a spoke lying around). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be ideal, but I'm a bit dubious of half links having snapped a few in the past. Anyone (Adam/Stan) know if these are more suitable than the Gusset style half link chains?

dave33 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 i had the same problem, milled my mounts a lil was still shit setting up brake, tyre didnt rub though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 It's an awesome bit of design isn't it! I'm running std maggy mounts 18-15 and a trialtech rim and i have to angle my pads down about 10 degrees. Don't some of the new mounts have a bit more travel? Want to sort something out before i put new pads on there. If there's no easy solutiion i think i'm going to go with the spoke tensioner.

onzatrip Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I ran these on my mod and they were amazing and realy easy to set up and for what you need it would work perfectly linky should fix your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Sounds interesting. However the lack of adjustability on the mounts doesn't come from the bolt reaching the end of the slot, it's the mount on the frame that buts up against the part of the clamp nearest the slave that's the problem. Do the neon mounts have that much material removed from that area? Thanks for the suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Just given the TR mounts a little measuring and found that if you file down the slots, you should be able to get an extra 2mm of adjustment. This is without having to remove any material from the oval bit which holds the slave in position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 what set up did you run on your Yaabaa i`m having a nightmare getting my chain tension etc set up right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I ran 18:15 with Rain King/Der Kaiser and trialtech chain with Try-all H hub and 2 snail cams. I found the snail cams didnt have enough adjustment, so i got a large (~20mm) washer to go through the snail cam bolt on the inside of the frame so the snailcam rested on the washer rather than the bolt. This gave the extra adjustment i needed for decent chain tension. Never had a problem with brake set up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rab shropshire Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I had the same problem with mine, the only way to properly get round is by running a single half link, i know people say that they are not strong enough but i have never had any problems and im a pretty heavy guy.

gage-mann Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Get try all clamps (more adjustment) 18:15, trialtech lite chain, and tighten the fook out of the tensioner bolts. I have works 4 me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
