29markt Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Fit chain tubes, rather than cutting casing, prevents chain jumping sprocket also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stannergas Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Casing cut away is a good idea. Done it on all my Mont twin shocks since the early 80s. If you take care with stitch drilling the shape 1st it's a doddle or I can do it for you no problem. I do away with the lower tube and fit a proper spring loaded tensioner. You still need the top tube to keep the crud off the chain to take the place of a standard style chain guard but trust me a plastic tube will NOT stop the chain wrapping round the front sprocket if it snaps or comes off the rear. I can show you another trick to stop that if you want. Can email pics of mine if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
