yes sorry |
That's might be why its riding on the roller all the time. Do you need the preload that high to get the right sag at the rear? Is there any suspension sag at all to speak of?
Worth checking your chain tension is within limits too? That can have a big effect on roller wear. If its too loose it'll drag all the time (but not put any pressure on the roller), but if its too tight when it makes contact with the roller the chain's tension can cause damage to it. |
there is 40>>50mm slack in the chain i get a whine noise when riding with the plastic roller so can only assume chain is always in contact with roller. the pre load was fully adjusted when i got the bike so never touched it

I think you've found your problem - too much preload/no sag. That'll be what's wasting your lower chain rollers.
Just to give you an idea of preload settings, I'm nearly 13st in riding gear and on the XTZ I'd have preload set about half way 4 or 5 out of 9 steps, so I'd start somewhere around there. Find a mate with a tape measure and get the sag set up properly - there's plenty out on the web about setting sag including videos on You Tube, have a search. |
excellent i will try that great info i have ordered the rollers as mention on this post as the plastic were noisy so when they come will give it a go. thanks for ur help
