Aaaargh!
For some reason, the chain has started to part company with the rear sprocket. I know it's speed related - centrifugal force is causing it to lift off, bang the hub spacer and come off. Six times last night on an 8 mile commute. It's been fine since the conversion to SS (about 3 weeks) so what's gone wrong and how can I stop it?
Merci!
the chain has stretched/worn slightly or the hub has moved int he dropout.
retension and it'll be fine.
How is it currently tensioned ❓

This, or the chainline's off.
Have you got a tensioner on there ?
No tensioner. Just a BMX setup.
How do I re-tension?

Just slacken the axle nuts, pull the wheel back and nip the nuts up again surely?
yeah, what andy R said. i need to do this every few weeks on my SS roadrat and it's all good.
Glad to hear that you have seen the light!
