godzilla Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 The tyre (x11) on my 08 4t has been rubbing the shock a little, i have tried a chain with an extra link but its way to slack i tried a half link and i have made the rear more stiff, has anyone had this problem before? The chain is not that old so i asume it will streach a little but i realy dont want to damage the shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogle Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 My 07 2 stroke did this. Couldn't stop it, so I let it get on with it in the end. Doesn't do it anymore. Only got 1/2 a shock left now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkbike Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 You use shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzralphy Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 DON"T let it rub the shock..... there is approx 250psi in the shock and it needs the alloy body to keep it in! Put the extra half a link in until you chain stretches. I never noticed that it made my suspension stiffer and actually it should make it softer with the longer leaverage ratio.

godzilla Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 With a half link its way to long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
