  • Wow!

    A few months ago bike shop replaced the chain on my UA. Two weeks later & the chain was dragging on the front plastic gearbox cover. I tried removing a chain link but then it was too short, so I've now fitted a chain tensioner which works just fine! Has anyone else on here had this issue?

  • few months ago bike shop replaced the chain

    It’s v possible they didn’t shorten the chain enough when fitting. What style of dropout do you have? Rocker (new style) or forward facing horizontal? In either case the wheel has to be as far forward as possible when sizing the chain.

    I found that the cheapest chains ‘stretch’ absolutely loads as well.

  • Vertical dropout - no forward adjustment at all. Could be the chain thry replaced (original one) was better quality than the new one. Anyway, I'll try & remember to check the chain wear regularly & replace it with my usual KMC Z100 or whatever it's called these days
