Looking for "Chain-slap" solution...
On the heavily rooted trails I ride on ( Quiet Waters, Oleta, etc) the chain
on my Trek Liquid 25 starts flopping around like crazy when I hit race pace speeds through the rough sections. This is not an issue on trails in North Florida like Croom or Santos ( meaning it would be a non-issue in N Carolina and other real mountain biking locations). But for my weekly rides, I need to find a way to reduce this flopping around. Sometimes the chain will shift itself into the granny gear, when I "need" to stay in the middle ring. and other times, when really hammering a rough section, the shifting on the rear derailer is badly compromised by the flailing chain. The only possible solution I can think of is removing the Big ring from the equation, and taking out several links--shortening the chain, in the hope that this will mean less travel potential for the chain....I'd rather have a better solution, and am hoping someone has one...
