Forum | Chain Hanger

Dear Gentlemen,

 The end for me and my Guvnor ‘s “chain hanger” (laughs and cheers):

I’ve bought this today 4 euros the two. There are not very beautiful but really efficient.

I’ll go to cut there a little and put a chromed closed screw for the end.

Those pieces are specially made for “Peugeot 103 mobylette” but adaptable on bicycles.

I must insert a cross big screw just for a good setting

That’s all folk’s You know what:  I’m happy 

Hello gentlemen,

after the final cut, adjusted and polished this is the result.

Before the chain whas a little noisy (I have had a puncture and i must dismont the wheel). 

After no noise.

Efficiently

Hello Gentlemen,

Please take no offense fine sirs, but the anti-rotation washers on the three-speed should be inside the chain-stay between the inside axle nut and chain-stay. Please consult the SA X-RD3 parts list exploded view if you have any questions. My Guv is set-up in this fashion as well with no problems.

Safe riding!

Man!

I’m reading a variety of perspectives regarding anti-rotation washer placement. SA generally shows them on the outside–mine came on the inside. Other’s suggest it is related to axle and drop out length relationship. So, survey to all Guv 3-speeder’s: what is the location of your anti-rotation washers?

Thanks!

Gary

One & All,

Just a few thoughts/points; the Owner’s Manual states, “Ensure that on the three-speed models the anti-rotation tab washers are fitted to the axle inside the forkends, with tabs facing out.”

I do like the belt and braces of fitting chain tugs, but I haven’t yet had any problem with axle slippage! If the brake torque arm is secure then it should, in theory, hold the whole rear axle/hub steadfast and true?

The type Ian fitted are a less bulky flat washer type which don’t impinge on the anti-rotation washer, also they shouldn’t cause any problem with the position of the SA toggle chain. So I think this the preferred type for the three-speeder.

Safe rides.

Hello Adam,

A little technical for my english. I ask a translation to a member of my family (English teacher).

Becoming after.

Hello,

to Adam, the first nut (the bigger) is here only to fit on the non-screwed part of the chain tug .  It is not screwed it’s to large and the closed nut just stay on.

I have cut the screw at the good length.

It’s O.K. ?

Ian

Hello Adam,

thank you.

My english was essentially elaborated in time with school remembers, Beatles songs, an old dictionary (1940 of my mother) and this precious site .

I am better in writting than speaking.

Dramatically, I never went in England essentially because my wife prefer the south towns. But , 61 aged and work finished it’s one off my secret dreams  and I’ll do this one of those days .

Best regards

Ian
