hi
here is my issue
i recently put a new rear wheel on my 2010 langster
i have been running it on the shimano freewheel. I purchased a new dx freewheel ans fitted with a new 1/8 chain, straight away i noticed cracking & popping sounds from the chain
then the chain began to throw, both inside and out,
i changed the freewheel over to the older one and it threw again. it maily happened when you stood up on the pedals and powered.
the chain never came off when i had the old alex rim on the rear
i have checked everthing , everything is ok , the only new factor is this rim
i should also add they when i got this rim , it hadnt been built corrected and had a flat spot, took it back and they sorted it.... i know believe the catalyst to the issue is the crappy wheel
any thoughts
