Re: why does my chain stretch so easy

i mean irde bout like everyone else i guess but no one elses stretches that much i dont know if it has to do with clutching it up when i was learning or what would that make sense? but no one else i know wears them out like this and ive seen people clutching the shit out of stuff

Re: why does my chain stretch so easy

It has a lot to do with clutching it up, when I first learned to clutch wheelies I had chain problems....

Don't so much drop the clutch as slip it, which means you let it out fast, but not dropping it.... You're wheelies will stand up alot more predictable that way too

Re: why does my chain stretch so easy

when you adjust it, are you leaving enough slack??? there should be 3/4 inch on the bottom side

Re: why does my chain stretch so easy

U have to replace the sprockets too when u replace a chain. Putting a new chain on worn out sprockets is like putting new pads on a ground up brake disc. U have to keep it lubed to.

Re: why does my chain stretch so easy

i have had the same chain on my stunt bike for over two years and 20 some thing thousand miles ,drifting , burnouts , clutch wheelies , power wheelies , every thing and my shit still has a ways to go before it's totally stretched out ....

i suspect you may be tightening it too much and not cleaning and lubing it enough


oh and +1 on the changing sprockets with the chain

Re: why does my chain stretch so easy

ive tried both o ring and x ring chains and yea its always got slack. my sprocket is brand new too eith only about 4 thousand on it. i live on a dirt?gravel driveway so it dries out quicker but i lube it that much more. how big of a factor would the lubing be

you also need to clean it. improper maintenance is the most likely culprit.
