I am not SomeBloke Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I had to make a plan to deal with my slipping chain while I wait for my half link to arrive so I did a quick hack job with some bits from the hardware store. It kind of suits my SIngle Speed Semi-Rigid beater. I might keep it. BarHugger, Capricorn, Raab and 1 other 4

RocknRolla Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I have isolation tape keeping my v-brake cable on my single speed from clanging on the frame. (the sound apparently is annoying for other riders)And I have used cable ties to attach the Oregon GPS I use as a cycling computer to the stem.
RocknRolla Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Not Somebloke, I think that mod will probably only last one ride, as the chain will saw through it quite quickly?

I am not SomeBloke Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 Quite possibly, I'll watch it closely but it's hopefully a temporary fix until I can get the half link and find the right ratios to keep the chain tension.
DR ◣◢ Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Not Somebloke, I think that mod will probably only last one ride, as the chain will saw through it quite quickly? Not quite. The chain has no sharp edges and those pipes are made from quite a thick plastic. Also on a jump bike you aren't exactly doing long distances. Couple of solid cranks to get going. My guess. Couple of months.

Exactly Not really sure why that bike has a chain in the first place Daredevil 1

Escapee.. Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 To keep the cranks level in the air when whipping those no-footers. Yip, sure as hell not for pedaling
Rata Del Spruit Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Not Somebloke, I think that mod will probably only last one ride, as the chain will saw through it quite quickly? 40km so far with no sign of any real wear. That PVC is tough stuff.
Rata Del Spruit Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I stand corrected. Haha, give it time, if it stuffs out at 41km you're still right.
