chain pop???

teamexileracing · Feb 2, 2008

lately ive been having problems with my chain making noise like its poping off the spindle...its scaring me because i know it will go threw the case if it comes off. Well whats the problem? Im pretty sure its has the corect amount of slack....at first i thought my axle was moving back and forth becuase my axle nuts were loose but i tightened them and it still does it. Is usualy only when i turn though.

Any ideas?

I think you need to buy my chain and sprockets. 35 bucks.

I leave my chain at about 1/4" of slack, both your sprocketsw on tight? I dont quite understand what you mean?

popping off the spindle?

yeah poping off the rear spindle, it sounds like it poping but it doesnt come off.

I thought you were supost to leave an inch of slack on the chain? Thats what i have always done and i havent had problems till now.

I used to have a problem with the chain and the front sprocket..when the chain was turning on the front it would stick to the sprocket when it should have been coming off..and it would make a loud popping sound..I dont really know how to explain it

yeah thats what is sounds like its doing...anybody have any idea how to fix it....i think it just needed waxed becuase my d-bike usualy does that intill you wax the chain then its good for a week or two....well i waxed so ill have to see how it does.
