Hey again,
My new idle pulley (after they forgot one in the original kit) torques inward toward the wheel, no matter how tight I bolt it upright. The frame isn't truly round at that point, and is slightly oblong, which is contributing to this inward torque of the idle pulley bracket and bearing - which means, the chain gets pulled off after a short pedaling.
Any suggestions to prevent this torque?
Originally (because it was missing from my kit), I was going to not use an idle pulley, but I can't get both chains tight, no matter how many adjustments I do to either chain with chain breakers, master links, etc. So, I'm gonna get this dang idle pulley on there hopefully and be done with it.
I was thinking of wrapping electrical tape on that portion of the frame to shape it more roundly.
--OR--
I could dremel the spot out a bit to make it round, but I'm afraid of weakening the frame
Let me know what you guys think
