HELP! need a reference photo of chain/swing arm clearance
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:00 am
so a week ago some dip plowed into my bike enough to bend the kickstand and a few other things.
including bending the peg bracket on the left side enough to cause it to rub against the chain.
or so i hope.
what freaks me out is that the tab welded to the frame, to which the peg bracket is bolted, doesn't really look all that bent.
if i bent bent it back to straight it looks like there would only be a quarter of an inch clearance with the chain still.
so what i need is a reference photo of the left & right side of where the swing arm is nearest the pegs.
i'm freaked that the dip might have bend the frame, as the right side has about 3/4" between the peg bracket & swing arm, whereas the left only has a tiny bit.
here's a shot of my left side:
