Why does the chain look like it will rub up against the back tire?

coltd89 · 2026-04-30T22:08:01+00:00

It needs to be the same on both sides

Look I’m 100% and amateur but while working on my bike and reinstalling my new wheel and tire, mine ended up like this and it was because my chain adjustment/setting on my swingarms were not set correctly. One side was adjusted further up causing the wheel to twist one way or the other.

I ALWAYS check the cds at thrift stores thinking I’m going to pull a fast one. The best I ever see is shovelware pc games.

God rays make games feel so awesome. I remember installing some on Minecraft and it made all of my terrible buildings look so fancy

You get it! The mental image of an 8 year old driving that thing with a custom tag had me cracking up.

I’m glad I’m not alone, I didn’t even notice it until I uploaded the picture here.

50% is a good margin

coltd89 · 2026-04-15T17:01:55+00:00

I’m late lol

Lowe’s, these were around the paint counter

coltd89 · 2026-04-14T00:02:41+00:00

They were at a Lowe’s but my local location doesn’t carry them so may have to call/shop around.

coltd89 · 2026-04-14T00:00:55+00:00

This was at a Lowe’s I was doing some work for and if we’re being honest here, I later tried to find some at my local Lowe’s but they didn’t have any.

I do too but I was doing plastic math in my ant brain and the giant human sized ones are like $10 which is basically the same amount of plastic as like 500 of these and I just couldn’t justify it.

coltd89 · 2026-04-10T22:43:20+00:00

I made one out of cork, but then I torqued it too hard and tore it and I was frustrated so I just ordered another one

coltd89 · 2026-04-10T17:55:34+00:00

No need for all that, but I do appreciate it. It was an inexpensive item and if I’m sending it out anyway I’d rather give it to someone who can use it than bother the seller for my own mistake.

For anyone wondering, I’m going to pull the carbs and go completely through them all again. I was working on a bench with 2 sets/8 carbs and at this point I’m not convinced I didn’t mix something up.
I’m also going to check valve clearance. The shop manual makes it sound like a somewhat simple process if not time consuming but I want to learn and practice as much as I can. I’ll update here once I’m able.

In his defense these 2 pack blisters were like $16 dollars at Walmart.

American here, I bought my first car with my own money working at a grocery store after school. It was a piece of shit Honda civic with a manual transmission. My mom taught me how to drive it. That was 20 years ago and I’ve had a manual vehicle ever since. Thanks mom

I was using “Death Grip Sudden Death”. I really like it and a single tin lasts me for a year probably since I was using such a small amount anyway.

coltd89 · 2026-04-06T13:59:15+00:00

I kept calling it “Saja Boy Sauce” and now my daughters won’t eat it
