I am concerned with the incident where the person posted that the chain caused some sidewall damage. Is that a real possibility using these chains?

I don't remember having sidewall damage to our tires but there were some nicks to the tread, nothing that I would consider unusual when one factors in the extreme conditions and environments these chains are used in. One must remember that tires aren't made to be driven on chains for extended periods. Is it possible...I would say yes. But I think that would apply to any chains??. For what its worth...

Yes, they will deny your claim. I almost went to small claim court but I decided not waste my time. It cost me over 1000 bucks. It will not only damage wheels but torn apart covering around the wheels under body.

Any exterior chain products has the potential to have some tire/rim damaged if not used to manufactures instructions. Fitment and suggested speed is critical for not causing damage. I suggest making sure that none of the chain or cable components are not touching the rim and that the cross members that run across the tire face does not fall between the treads. If this happens it is called tread lock and tire damage is possible. Please read the instruction, note our waiver of claim if not used and or installed properly.

I believe that it would as long as you don't have the chain running over the fence. The back side (or non-cutting side) of the chain would run smoothly against the fence if it were to come in contact.

Cesar,That is a great post. I hope there is some way you can report this to Schwinn. I don't think they've figured it out yet.

Should be a pretty standard bike chain. I would suggest removing and taking it to a local bike shop for replacement. You can probably just lubricate the chain and continue using it.

Bill has a good point, but I would recommend you read our discussion in my review first and make your own decision. I have used it like this for a long time until one day the wires melted! I am sure others have had better luck, it's only how much of a risk you are willing to take.

Thank you, I was also wondering some folks mentioned issues w hum or saw one guy claim it's not isolated but essentially a one spot daisy chain in a box. Have you had issues?

I don't know, but why worry about it? If it doesn't fit, just throw a short length of chain over the bar and hook the block to both ends of the chain. Ed Peters

I would contact renthal. You can probably use it,but I would make sure because it is an expensive chain.

I have the same problem with the chain coming off. When I used it I spent far more time putting the chain back on than I was able to use the machine. Should have taken it back. Not usefull at all.

You should never run them at top speed during the break in period for 1; 2 you may have had the chain tentioner on way to tight, sprocket was not straight or lined up properly for that chain to break; it is basically a motorcycle chain and you can snap a motorcycle chain or any chain for that matter if to tight. it is not your bike kit; it is your lack of mechanical skills. I have built 50 of these bikes and never had a chain snap "never"!

Chain loose? If still jumping off, go over chain link by link and make sure it can sit all the way down in the groove on the bar. If it can't, straighten it where bent, file it so it will, buy a new chain.

Never a silly question:) The inside straps with hooks actually got caught in my chain & snapped off & I had to fix the chain. I would make sure they are very securely hooked onto something or cut them off altogether. The other hook on the other side got caught in my wheel & snapped off!

yes you will have to use s hooks and possibly buy new chain but very inexpensive. great purchase

Yes. I don't see that that would be and issue, ass long as your chain stays on both sides of the bike are even with one another. Meaning both come off the back at the same parallel angle as each other

The back wheel locked up when the chain came off. If u put the chain back on it should work again.
