Chain Side Slack
The callow youth at my LBS offered to replace my spare MTB chain on the
basis that the side slack/play was excessive. On their Chain stretch gauge the chain came out as "good", so I didn't replace. Does anyone have a rule for how much side play is good or bad? (I've got to admit my chain is pretty droopy sideways.)Chain Side Slack -- Regards Bob Chambers |

Excessive sideways play will eventually prevent clean shifting. -- BrettS |
