warped chain rings

[priv]

i've a slightly warped profile imperial ring,it's warped enough for the chain to be slack then tight as it spins,,any ideas as to how i can straighten it before the rubber mallet comes out?




cheers...priv

undo the bolt that screws into the crank arm and see if that cures it? Profiles sometimes have a mismatch on the two faces here (spindle hole and chinring bolt hole)
If it does then use really fine washer(s) to shim the gap between crank arm and chainring 
  DINGO

  DINGO

[ghostriderx]

mmmm....i suppose you are good for the odd technical reference dingo 

[priv]

i ended up sacking it off and putting the redline back on


priv

[ghostriderx]

it did look a bit too warped for a bit of spacing Ady. but top tip from technical dingo aye

[Dingobmxer]

to check how warped it is lay it on a piece of glass, (table/window ect...) it will show if its warped or if the bolt is pulling it across 

  DINGO

[priv]

i'll try the mirror trick now mate
