i brought a set of used charge dish wheels for £50 and these are probs in better condition, bargin!

i have now sorted this :), when i got home i took the chain off cleaned it and then soaked it in some finishline wet lube and also cleaned off all the shite from the chain ring and cog then refitted the chain, i relised i had a huge diffrence in chain tension when fitting the chain so i sorted that not in the gracfull sheldon brown way by tapping with a spanner but with twating the chain ring with a wooden malled and that sorted it nicly, then went for a little ride wiped all the excess lube off and hey presto! quiet at a mouse again :D

this just makes me think of this:

ok cheers for all the suggestions, ill keep the chain on that i have now for a few more rides and see if it starts to bed in, if not ill buy a new chain. thanks guys

yeah im using the same chain and it was quiet as a mouse before with the old cog, the chain is a cheap one though i think ill try i new chain...

also i checked my chain line by using the edge of a meter long rule and theres literally nothing in it!

Hi all

i have recently changed my rear cog from a no make 16t to a dura ace 15t and now my chains overly loud? i have sorted out my chain line to near perfect by using washers behind my chain ring and have tried diffrent lubes but the noise is still there! are dura ace cogs known for being loud? i really dont know...

cheers

cup and cone bearings can be a bitch to get right.

+1 cant stand the things!

humm well in that case i do not have a clue!

but from reading your posts on this thread again its sounds alot like when your tightning the tracknuts the axel is slipping causing the cones to loosen... check the thread in the track nuts and the axel. could be the tracknut griping the axel where theres a burr or lots of dirt in the thread, thats the only thing i can think of tbh

are you definatly sure its your back wheel rattling? and how tight are you doing up the locking nuts?

lovly bike, i love those bars

Use the force Skywalker

ha brilliant

id love to be able to afford one of those nicolai's...

cheers

such a nice bike!

Gets to 100 and.. POW! The thing explodes. “Fucking Schwalbe inners…. They’re always fucking rubbish”. My ears are ringing.

lmao i have dont this before but when i was a novice working at a bike shop, it scared the living crap out of me. i also got coved in white dust from the huge gash in the inner tube so i was pasty with white dust with ringing ears with my eye lids wide open and shakeing like a leaf, i bet i looked like a ghost on ectascy.

well i dident relise bb tapping sets were this much :O.... http://www.sbrsports.com/470-412635
so its probs worth just buying a new frame after the bb you got in there now buggers up.

i used some old bottom bracket spacers i found in my box of bits and they do the job

sorry :P. you must be rather tall though

somebody is keen on charge plugs...

haha those 3 bikes where just posted in the porn thread too :P

cant say i like any of those 3, and surly the last one is actually un rideable? look at how long the dudes leg must be when there fully extended to reach the pedal.

after woking it out with my fingers his leg will only be abit shorted than the length of the bike lmao.
