What Can I Do to Stop My Chain Coming Off the front single ring on my After 7? There is no way to adjust the thing that I can see as there is nothing connected to it.
Anyone got any bright ideas? Is it something I'm doing do you think? All the best. Roy  Edited by RoyMacdonald - 13 August 2023 at 5:07pm |

On a single ring you can make/attach chain guards/guides both sides of the ring. Some of the pedal car folks do that…

Thanks Alan.
Will it be OK to glue them on? There is not much metal for any fixings. It's one of Daniels specials. I could mount something on the carbon fibre box beam that the bottom bracket it bolted too of course. It's the same as an Alpha's construction. All the best.

They are usually circular, just a bit bigger diameter than the chairing and mounted using longer chainring bolts.

I think Daniel removes the chainring installation completely to work on it. I'm not sure I have the physical ability or confidence to do that. I never saw him put the Chainring in. He has to obscure what he is doing when he is working on the front.
He adjusts the length of the chain in situ in a way that I never could. I'm just about OK sticking bits on and pumping up the tyres (although I do get covered in sealant occasionally) but even removing the back wheel takes me to the limit. All the best.

Have to wonder how the chain wraps itself around the pedal axle. That's where it ended up and it was a devil of a job to get it off and untangled again. Bizzare.
It's not dropping onto the bottom bracket axle like you would expect. All the best. Roy Edited by RoyMacdonald - 13 August 2023 at 9:50pm |

Yes Alan. I'd like to do the ones closest to me. Betteshanger, Gravesend, and of course Hillingdon.
I have the car out of action at the moment so it depends on that I think. It never gets the attention the bikes do. PS. Just noticed you can actually see the marks of the chain on the pedal axle. All the best. Roy Edited by RoyMacdonald - 13 August 2023 at 10:22pm |
