Default Re: only the good die young

I got both wheels on and the chain cut right. I took it out to test and the chain popped off. I adjusted it and it popped off again. I spent a half hour moving and twisting and tightening and finally it stayed on. So I took if for a quick half block test ride.

You guessed it the pedals drag the ground on any turn. This is a one piece crank so I don't have room to cut and drill it. I am going to have to switch out the crank set. Fortunately I have a small crank from a twenty inch bike. But I don't have a small chain ring which is going to make just a little bit of difference in the performance. For better or worse I don't know but I do have to change the crank and chain ring.

These jobs always grow on me.
