eyecandy Posted September 15, 2012 Share Had same problem and tensioner was at same angle as yours. Solved by shortening chain, bringing tensioner into more horizontal position, thus engaging a few more teeth. Hasn't skipped once since. Happy Days.tx im gonna give that a try.

Mackie Posted September 15, 2012 Share Here is the (almost) final product... EyeCandy still wants a white seat clamp and that &^%$^#%$#^&*&^$@%$# Spank Tweet Tweet chain is jumping like a kitten on a hot stove.Please tell me where I can get one of those bottle cap holder top caps and bar end plugs...

Eldron Posted September 15, 2012 Share Please tell me where I can get one of those bottle cap holder top caps and bar end plugs... Its a Niner top cap. I think Dangle has some in his shop. I've seen them at Epic for those of you in the cape.. Failing that contact Coolheat in JHB 011 608 2003 - they are the Niner agent. Its true - EyeCandy and I are total Ninerphiles! There are 4 in the bike room now... PEDAL DAMNIT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For two reasons: 1) The extra wrap around worked a treat - no more jumping!2) I had to remove a few half links to get the tensioner angle right and managed to get rid of the tensioner completely with a 20 sprocket (that Eyecandy will use at SSWC) Herewith one IOU valied for Smarties or beer - your choice. Here she is in her final glory and ready for SSWC! At 9.8kg she's pretty light too. Bring on the beer swilling. Cyclocross and DIPSLICK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
