Tight Spot..............

[Andy68]

Once again a fookin MEGA tight spot in the new chain on my latest build last night. Every build this happens!    All seems straight, spins nicely, lined up well, chain on, then sh*t.   I'm guessing if each component is even slightly out/bent etc then it's gonna happen.

Do you have a chain tool? Try pushing the pin through a nic ever so slightly either way you may find its a nads cock out.....ive had this a few times if the chains been split the pin may not be in its original place

chain ring bolts too, if that's not on straight you end up with a nice oval rotation.

I know you'll have checked but

Chain-line - all straight from the freewheel to sprocket?

Rear wheel aligned correctly?

Has the sprocket bolt (if they're 3-piece cranks) pulled the sprocket out of line slightly?

Bottom bracket in flush?

Sprocket teeth not worn?

Chain off the bike - all links move freely?

theres also the dreaded freewheel "float" that ya cant do f'all about. if ya spin back wheel you can sometimes see the freewheel bobbing up n down slightly, that doesnt help

Cheers chaps, I'll check all above tonite. 

Chain looks like a feckin washin line in one place when adjusted at the tight spot!! I will not be beat!!!

Go chainless.

undo everything and let the chain find its correct alignment, then do it all up in the right place

Do you have a chain, tool?

No need to call him a tool, he only asked for a bit of help.
