| Jan 2, 2016 at 18:30 | comment | added | BEVR1337 | Did you measure or just visually check your chain line? A few mm is way more important on a igh/single speed setup. Does the cog have a wobble? If you grab the crank arms can you get them wobbling left and right? Last question- did you pull your wheel back too far or not far enough and the chain tension is wrong? | |
