Hey, putting together a Dare for a friend and have run into a problem with the chain rubbing against the swingarm in the lowest gear, using a sram cassette and PC 99 chain with a XO rear D. Appreciate any advice!
quick fix would be to put a washer in there between the frame and the hub, but small enough it doesn't touch the cassette lockring.
or can you loosen the through axel bolt(then end one), then loosen the drive side pinch bolts, dropout should move out slightlytighten pinch bolts then axel bolt. not sure if the hub will float around though,
check to see if the hub axel flange has dug into the dropout around the axel from overtightening, if so use a washer and don't over tighten, just needs to be snug, not crushed, pinch bolts hold axel in place.
hm, also this weekend i'll be rebuilding my buddies dare. he's running about the same parts. i'll look into this one.
maybe hadley has a new axle they are using, cause the hadley wheels i have here for it have ample clearance for the chain there. will know more when the whole bike is here.
is that the newest version?
my buddies i think is a 2004
Its an 02 Frame with a new rear end, or at least appears so, bike was a demo at speedgoat. Been sitting for a while, owner was in Afghanistan when he ordered it.
I didnt cut the cables, but will suggest shortening it, got bigger worries right now with the chain rub.
Dont like the idea of not fully tightning the axle to make it work, so hopefully someone has seen this before.
Tied spokes! Stronglikebull
I didn't know azonic made tires!!
one solution is tomake it an 8 speed. Just set the limit screws on that derailleur.
Maybe too much of a ghettorig though. try a small washer around the axle.
Or you could just gouge some Al from around that dropout, assuming it's replaceable, It looks plenty strong. Nevermind, it's not replaceable.
Just as a test, if you have a Shimano cassette laying around, throw it on and see if it makes a difference.
I have an XT cassette on my '02. I have a Hadley hub. No spacers or anything funky. It is very close, but it does not rub.
