Topic: Chain rubbing on swingarm issues... Idears?

[squirley]

So, tell me what your remedies are for chain hitting the pivot tube of the swingarm. With longer shocks and a fatter chain, combined they make the chain hit the swingarm. I know most would say put shorter shocks, but I am not going to.  What are the remedies?  Should I bolt on a delrin chain slider like a dirt bike at the pivot tube? Or should I put some kind of roller on there. Any ideas welcome

Larger sprockets maybe?

maybe do like they do on dirtbikes and put a strip of Delrin or a similar material where the chain is hitting.

delrin slider or larger sprocket(this has chain length issues)

Set the shocks to lowest ride height (if not done already) and keep chain tension within specs. Might minimise, even eliminate the issue!
