I'm pretty much out of ideas here on my "tight/loose" chain. No matter what I do I've still got an inch or inch an half of slack in chain after I tighten tensioner at chains tightest point. If I tighten it down at loose point, wheel wont even turn. I ride this bike everyday for the last 8 months, no problems at 34-35mph.
Here's what I already did:
1) Took off wheel, replaced broken spoke, trued up wheel
2) Checked freewheel bearings and hub..looks OK
3) Put on new spkt mount with 2 rubber isolators--carefully tightened down 9 bolts on sprocket (same 36T as before, which looks OK to me)
4) Spun the wheel, no wobble and spkt looks centered on axle
5) Checked chain for tight links (KMC 410HD)...looks OK
6) Put chain back on, carefully alligned the 2 spkts,
7) Countershaft spkt looks OK and the chain seems to come off ok
Everything looks OK by my sight, but I still have at least an inch difference when I turn wheel half a turn....Never run into this problem before on any other bikes and I can't see any problem. Anyone else ran into this?
Or, had trouble with sprockets wearing out? Or KMC chain?? Im stuck on this one........
