Maybe ill replace this fall idk yet..basically my chain was on too tight for a while, so much even it broke a small plastic bearing i shouldnt have put in there, I didnt take it out because the bolt got stuck permanently. I removed the plastic bearing, and replaced it with some coils I used to turn with a sproket on the chain. I tested it, and it works very well. The difference between a loose chain and a tight chain are worlds apart in my case. A loose chain is actually a lot better, because the wheel was off by some degrees (1 mm does ALOT in terms of going in a straight line), and I was going to the left a lot. With a loose chain, the vehicle will go more straight now. So yeah the chain now has a 31mm bend, where 35 actually comes off. I was infact using a tight chain, in favor of speed, but after an oustide test I noticed the loose chain is faster too! With much better climb. This ofcourse can be attributed to a 15 to 14mm misalignment on the chain, not the general consensus of tight chains being worse. Didnt think anything of it, and appeared to run straight, but it was indubetbly nt in the previous years. Oh yeah the tensioner on the forks are also why I spin it. They may come loose or nt be tight enough.
