Hello! So i finished my 3rd build and have 1 small problem... the chain is sometimes rubbing against the rear engine mount stud. I tried adjusting the tensioner left/right but it doesnt help alot... Any ideas on how i would solve this? Thanks in advance!

You bent your engine mounting studs. That's due to the cheap thin factory engine mount & over tightening. You will more that likely need to replace your engine mounting studs & get a thicker engine mount plate. You could also use bolts if you determine the length needed.

If you continue to run that bike that way, you will end up having a bad day, at some point or another if them studs decide to give up the ghost. Just giving you a heads up warning.

I am a believer in self clearance. If it doesn't clear, it eventually will

(This is a horrible philosophy in most cases . I don't actually recommend this)

Hmmm i know they are bent and that is because the seat tube is really thick. On my other bikes i have no problems and they are bend in the same way

I had 1 of them bikes with a self clearancing chain. Lmao it eventually works soo good your stud or bolt will disappear into silvery pixie dust.
