to be honest, it was a little hill. ive cased doubles, rode 2 people wheelies and it held up strong, but theirs this litle hill that leads to the road(its like 6 feet high, and pretty steep. well i wipped it around on that hill and when it came down it wouldnt go anywhere, i thought my chain popped off , got to lookin and everything was twisted. it was held together by a bracket that bolted through the arm that the shock mounts to.:D :( :mad:

i love ur bike^^^. but now i got new problems. the allen head bolt on the swinger are stripped so i cant adjust my chain, and if i take a link out, its to short if i leave it in it too long.

haha could you explain that to me again?

the bolts that hold the carrier or the one that hold the swinger on?

its the 2 bolt on the bolt that let you twist your carrier when you loosen them

yeahh i had that chain problem alottt like it seems like you need a half link?

do you have a chain guide on there? and if you do does it have the rubber in it? chain sliders on the front of the swing arm?

they would all help keep chain tension.

also for the bolts, see if you can hammer the next size up in metric or standard sometime the standard size like right up from it will fit... just get new bolt before you try anything
