chain problem

sendo · Jul 11, 2005

whats up, just cleaned my chain and then adjusted it. rolled it back in the garage and checked the chain again and now it was too tight

so i put it on the rear stand and started spinning the wheel, and notice there is a thight spot, then the rest is fine? what can it be?
thanks, Sendo

oh the bike has 11,000 miles and it is the stock chain and sprockets

Prolly a kink in the chain...Depending on what kind of chain ya have, and how hard you do, or don't ride...and how it was maintained..it could be time for a New one...If you do get a new chain, check the sprockets for any wear..if there's none, just replace the chain with a high quality one, like the DID rivet type...keep it clean, and lubed...

well i guess im going to get a kit for it, what do you guys recommend ? stay stock 525 or 520, and what brand? should i stay with o-ring or go x-ring? i dont do track. i do alot of freeway driving to work 140 miles round trip.
thanks, Sendo

Stay with the stock 525...but get a high quality chain...the X ring DID is good..

and at the risk of repeating myself....get the Rivet type master link...
