Hmm. After readjusting my wheel and tensioner again (my new ones), i've run into an interesting problem..
Basically, with my old wheel, the hub was a uniform size which allowed me to slide the drive sprocket right upto the edge of the wheel. On this one, the hub was non-uniform in size, and thus I had to use the rubber gasket between the sprocket and the spokes/hub.
Now however, the chain even running the tensioner very close to the rear sprocket, I still get barely any clearance between the frame and the chain, and it also doesnt seem to like the angle the tensioner is on either.
The clearance of the chain seems to me to be ok, the tensioner is maybe a bit of a tight fit but it doesnt seem like itd cause any terrible issues.
Now my symptoms of the problem are that when I start riding, I am met with a very shakey, shuddery ride, with kind of like, smaller bursts of power. At higher speeds this becomes nothing and it runs as normal.
As far as I can tell there are three possible causes but im unsure as to which it is most likely to be..
1. The rear drive sprocket isnt 100% true
2. The chain is too tight
3. The tensioner isnt at the right angle and is causing the chain to stick, but power through it at higher speeds.
Any ideas?
