posters on ss bike exploits, over many years of what I have seen.

I thought you'd only been mountain biking for a few months. Or did I
miss
something here?

Was that chain slap issue ever resolved?

Yes, thanks. I got one of the tensioners used for downhill
bikes...Although,
I found later that the mechanic who assembled my bike and did the tuning
had
done a terrible job of it, and this was most likely the real cause of the
slapping.

I sometimes get a little chain slap, but only when I go over something
really rough with the HT.
