    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

hey guys, i just recently purchased a 530 chain conversion kit from Z1 enterprises. those guys are great to deal with. i got 18t front and 50t rear. rk 116 link x ring chain. after installing and adjusting the chain i ran it on my jack. the chain is perfectly straight and everything looks good EXCEPT( and this is a very big except) the rear sproket is not spinning evenly. i traced it to the cush drive not sitting completely flat to the wheel. looks like a high spot if you will. has anyone had this issure in the past? if so what was the repair? i still havent dropped the rear tire back off due to time crunch but im going to assume it will either by due to a bearing issue or somehow i may have just cocked the cush to the wheel when installing. any help would be much appriciated. thanks!

Those cush rubbers have a tab on the back side of them. It could have popped out of the corresponding hole it goes into on the rim itself and got wedged inbetween somehow.. Might check that.
 
That or one of the rubbers is the wrong part, broken off tab, in backwards, maybe even one is missing?

Done all of these before.
 
Ahh good call! i didnt even check, i should have but i didnt. thanks that will be the first place i look
 
when installed, smear the rubbers lightly with silicone grease. it helps the sprocket hub seat easier back in the wheel and prevents any cush drive squeaks from dry rubbers
 
just ordered some new rubbers cause if im going to pull it back out minus well replace them. thanks guys!

Sorry to say you wasted you money. Your sprocket carrier dampeners were probably just fine.
