Chain hitting rear tire on Stingray

[Eman760]

The chain on my OCC Stingray is rubbing on the rear tire, do you know a way I can fix this or does anyone know of a little smaller of a tire I can put on?

Move the sprocket or engine if possible.............Curt

Your options are
(1) Get a thinner tire
(2) Get a thinner chain. I use this really strong BMX chain, it gives me more room for the rear tire, it won't break and it won't get twisted after extended use, also, it seems to go through my engine sprocket with less drag than the bulky 415. ---> https://www.bike24.com/p272230.html

(3) Remount engine at a different angle.
(4) Get some kind of sprocket adapter that will move the rear sprocket away from the hub.

I like the bmx chain, and have had success with KMC Z510 HX

Are you using a rag joint? I cut some spacers from 1/4 in. pvc. worked well an have put many, many miles on it. View attachment 99863

What kind of hub are you using? Do you have a coaster brake or freewheel?
