In this episode, Tony walks you through his problem-solving process of keeping your chain path straight, true, and obstacle-free once your engine and rear sprocket are mounted. Compensating for chain stretch, rear fenders, chain tensioners, chainstay angle, and all the other variables are just a few things to keep top of mind throughout your motorized bicycle build project. So, let's dive in!

Kewl tips.I'd guess allot of the watchers have the standard 2 or 4 bolt mount and just use the 'crescent wrench twist' method too.I've changed the plastic pulley for this:"Sprocket Idler Pulley Is-810 3/8" X 1.84".It also keeps the chain aligned to the rear sprocket better.@$12 online.

I just wanna let y’all know how absolutely terrifying it is when the bolt on the sprocket adapter hits the break arm going 30+mph…..always make sure it’s tight I almost got sent to the gulag.

Having the pulley screw loosten up on the stock tensioner resulting in your chain dropping off the sprocket while going up a hill at full speed is damn terrifying too, the stock tensioners are kinda shit lol.

I agree that the 'arched tensioner' is safer than the standard 2-4 bolt type.So many with round frame tubes don't drill through the mount and frame to put a hardened screw in so they can't twist.I've been using a 'spring tension'engine mounted type,but on very rough bumps I've had the chain flex enough to pop off.Home Depot helped by having stronger spring packs available.Thanks for all the great tips and videos.

I just lifted a engine with those brackets and they you're right have to form. I used three flat peaces to counter and then added Springs on the bottom of the engine.

I bought one of these bikes from bike berry, and let me tell you, it's alot of work it's not easy at all, the parts are cheap, and just getting the kit and putting it together is damn near Impossible, for someone who doesn't have alot of tools or much experience with this stuff you're in for a bad few days. I had to make soooo many modifications to the bike and the the rest of the kit it was ridiculous.

Stop crying. Chalk it up as a life lesson. If you arent mechanically inclined you should have never got the damn thing.

@@mattmarshall1698 listen dummy not once did I say I wasn't mechanically inclined, I was warning people who aren't and who don't have the tools to make the modifications, and it's absolutely fact the parts in the kit are complete shit. Did I get the bike working yes but Holy he'll at how crap the quality is, when you buy a kit it shouldn't require an entire shop to put the damn thing together.

There is a shift kit for that application but I have always wondered if I could get away with just the jackshaft.

What to do if the chain is rubbing against the engine mount nut?

@markplaylist5984 Жыл бұрын

Depends how much it's rubbing. But, if you can file or grind off excess material that's what I would do. Always wear safety glasses and gloves when grinding.

@kenharamain3928 2 жыл бұрын

Or you could have just sanded the nut because its the nut tbat lays on your bracket tensioner.. guess You know how the brakes are aligning on the side of the wheel.. its a two piece one side rounded concave the other convex...

Dude. Dude. DO NOT BEND BOLTS! The Nylon Tensioner Will wear to the pitch of the chain. It will groove itself striaght. Again. You need a large washer, a lock washer, and a Nylon Nut on that chain tensioner. Also it looks like your rear sprocket needs to flipped around. The indent should be facing the hub.

@tiger7777 2 жыл бұрын

@Lucas, dude, the sprocket only goes on one way. Note, the countersunk screwheads. Also, bent tentioner bolt is ok, it's only purpose is to take up the slack, it's not pressurized.
