Tight spot...



Anyone had any adverse experiences with tight spots on bike chains?

Apart from making a horrible racket (it didn't to start with, but it is
now), is it really likely to go bang?
Tension chain at said tight spot. Use bike
Yep, had a tight spot on the fatblade chain. It suddenly went from a
clicking to a banging noise luckily at low speed. The sideplate had sheared
off and was catching on the chain guard.

Buy a new chain.
Last time I had a bad tight spot, I took it into the dealers to find I
had a collapsed rear wheel bearing.

I had a little moment as I realised I'd been flying to and fro on the
NCR to work for over a week with it!
Safe to do 80 MPH on then. Just ask Bonwick (senior)
