having issues with my chain

28 Jun 2009 20:15

so my chain doesn't seem to sitting in the rear sprocket. I have made sure that the wheel is adjusted and straight. The wheel will turn and the chain will go out of the teeth. then it will pop back in. the pictures show the chain as it sits in the sprocket, and when it doesn't any suggestions would be appreciated

That's the ugliest chain I ever saw. Do not ride on it. You need a chain and sprockets. Z1 Enterprises has the best prices on them.

It also looks like there are no teeth on the sprocket! Park it and get a new chain and sprockets ASAP! :ohmy:
