for a long time my chain was popping off my chainring then getting stuck in between my frame and tire...so i bought a chain guide...now the chain stays on but it's still getting stuck...anyone know an easy/inexpensive way to fix this problem
well i work at the lbs...my rear der is running smooth...non of the chainrings are bent...and the hub is smooth, even though i'm not sure what thats got to do with it...my chain is getting stuck right next to where the seat stay and the chain stays meetProblem with your rear derailleur perhaps? Sticky pivots or a bad spring may prevent the derailleur from keeping contstant tension on your chain. Chainrings bent? Freehub still smooth? It could be a number of things, really. Without more information, it could be hard to give you an answer. Taking it to your LBS will be easiest.
not sure if it makes a difference for the short cage, but my crank set is actually a double ring...i just broke the small ring and never use itA short cage rear mech (rather than long) would help keep tension on the chain. With a single ring in front, thats the best set up.

looks like you have a bit of extra chain..causing less tension.
sorry i meant to say seat tube...between the frame and tire behind my bottom bracketYour not making any sense. Is it getting stuck between the cassette and the frame or the frame and the tyre behind your bottom bracket.
i'll give the cleaning and grease job a tryhm, with the pics, i'm still gonna go with the free hub just needed to be cleaned out and re-greased/lubed.
how long have you had the deemax wheels?
also davep has a good point. what width bb are you running? and is the guide as close the the frame as possible or?
street single ring guideWhat chain guide is that? Looks like a DRS without a front dertailleur, or an SRS for a bigger ring than you are running...
i can't do the 113 though, my crankset is requires a 118...i had the 113 on there and the crankset wore away on the oustide of the bottom bracket so i couldn't get the tool engagedyou answered your own question
go back to the 113. your bike was designed around. your chain line with the wider bb is too far out.
did you mod the chainguide to be spaced over to the crank more or did you just leave it the same?
it SS now, with a PINK CHAIN, ya i'm pretty cool. But no, both me and my friend had nothing but problems with out chains on 3 different chase's, i mean like, without the chain guide they were all substatially worse than a normal cheap-o xc bike. Like ANY backpeadling would drop the chain. It was obnoxious.gemini2k, you gave up too early. i've setup that bike many times. if done correctly. it works.
how about a top down view of your chain guide setup.
the crank arm in no way should be able to touch the bb shell. if it is, something terrible is wrong/not setup rightit's the gigapipe team dh isis
i don't see how it would work on a 113...the crank arm literally wore away the bb because it was too close to it and it constantly rubbed it
Those look like the new Howitzer type Holzfellers. They do not work correctly with a standard ISIS BB.the crank arm in no way should be able to touch the bb shell. if it is, something terrible is wrong/not setup right
