Back wheel problems

What chain is it? Full link or half link??

Sounds like your drivetrain isn't aligned. Post pictures or better yet a video.

Okay, check chain alignment if its not that try giving it a good clean and still like it after make sure links are upside down friends of mine have done that in the past when fitting a half link and put part on upside down haha, can cause it. Take the chain off and turn the cranks see if they feel abit rough when turning rather than smooth. Could have blown bearings but I doubt you have, if not just disassemble the cranks and oil everything let me know how you get on

Man that sucks, what I've done before is took a larger Allen key, about 0.5-1mm larger and hammered that into the bolt to make a new hole. Spray itwith wd40 or some other form of penetrating oil and let it work its way in haha. That is presuming you cant get them undone? If nit contact the company or go into your local shop and ask for a replacement bolt. About that sprocket, I don't think that is causing it but i wouldn't rule it out. If you have a spare sprocket that's straight give it ago

It worked for me with a star key before so its worth a try, it'll also help loosen the bolt by shocking it. As a mechanic i've done this on cars a few times but only once on a bike. If not you'll have to drill it out but id get an expert to drill a bolt out haha, don't wanna ruin the threads on the spindle

Yea, the wd40 id do first to let it penetrate into the threads. And yea, be careful and try to hammer straight if it goes bad take ti to a shop and they'll get it off for you. Try to hit as straight as possible

If the bigger allen doesnt work, I have carefully taken a dremel and made a single "cut" into the bolt and in rare cases used a flathead screwdriver and a wrench to bust one loose.


Otherwise some place could carefully weld a nut to the allen bolt and try to break it loose that way (I've done that one too)
