thing is , its currently on the freewheel side.

if i put it on the fix side, set the chain up with the correct tension and the vibration comes back.................

aarrgg.

Chain's too tight.

first thing i did when i felt it. but not enough, cos ...............

set it up again today. determined to get to the root of the problem, with the chain super slack.

i am a tad embarrased.

oh well.

cheers everyone!!!!

17t. it happens on both the fixed cog and when ive flipped my flop, on the freewheel. wich is also 17t.

ordered some on thursday.

i fucking hate waiting.

ok.

old chain. old chainring. - no vibration.

new chain, new chainring - vibration.

new chain , old chainring - no vibration.

when i first put the new chain and chainring on. noticed the vibration. first thing i did was to slacken the new chain off.

no wonky tooths. brand new chainring.

checked the clearance before initial instillation.

????????????????????

so, ive just changed my chainwheel from 46t to 48t. and got myself a new chain.

been getting a vibration through the crankarm, the right side , the one the chain ring is attached too.

at first i thought it might just be the chain needing to break in or something. but , after a couple of hours ride today , it was still happening. ..... just put the old 46t back on , just to see what would happen and .... no vibration.

both chainrings are brev m . why would i be getting a vibration on the 48t ?

got me a reet bit peeved .

They'll take abuse, and are built by a very well respected member of this forum. Contact him regarding any special concerns.

it is the week after glastonbury though..............

i think it was the year 2000. took me a fortnight to recover.

hope the feller is alright ?????

you know what ? you know your right.

i fix guitars for a living in a wee shop. spent a lifetime doing little jobs for a beer or two.

its about time i called some favours in.

If you're on a tight budget, the Rigida Grizzly SE is actually a couple of quid cheaper than DP18s, and much better suited to 28C tyres. The rims are popular with the kind of people who ride unmade roads with full camping gear strapped to the bike. Get them built up with 36 spokes on the same Novatec hubs (sold under many other names, SJSC stock them in 36h) that Varno uses and you'll have a solid set of wheels. If you really want to go nuts, you can buy DT Alpine III spokes for the same price as Comps.

cheers for the advice.

thing is , im a noob . id be really into the idea of using my old wheels (when i get some new ones) to learn how to build wheels myself. strip em down and build em up again. that way , id not be at risk of making a balls up , attempting to build up a brand spanking new wheelset myself. as im pretty good at thinking , just one more turn on that spanner and then hearing a loud sharp pinging noise.

would those halo wheelsts be any good be any good ?

i was all set to go out and get a set of halo aerorage. then started lurking on here.

cheers for the help.

any advice on anything else of that list of lists that would do ?

i fancy these....
