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.

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

I see you've been waiting for an answer for a long time. I have the very same question. It looks like on all the units I've seen that you have to thread the chain through them, which would be easy for chains on geared bikes. I'm gonna guess that it would be a problem using one of these which would be a shame.

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 would not know about that. Sounds dangerous to me. Something like that I would contact the manufacturer before doing something other then it's described use.

Scott, I replaced the chain on my and found a site that sells Poulan parts. If interested, I will find it and let you know where to find them.

I'm not positive about this, but I don't think so. Think of it as a solid sheet of heavy, stiff mudflap material cut into strips about 4" wide with no spaces in between. Properly installed it is only 4 inches off the road. I think on a chain it would float and flap and "plane" way way too much.

I did, but it caused them to squeak a little bit, as the sides rubbed. I took them apart and applied a little axle grease. Not a single squeak for over a year now. I think it's better to keep the chain from chafing the shoulders.

I believe I have.It's not super easy to do as it's supposed to be a heavy duty chain but it is possible with the right tools.You'll definitely need to put some force behind it though.

I would not suggest this bike. The chain would not stay on, and as a result a friend of mine was just riding it & crashed when the chain fell of again.

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.

Absolutely not recommended. The leverage would make the connection unsafe even dangerous, depending on the load. Some states have legal restrictions; consult your states regulations.

there is a video i posted on my comment i can not figure out how to post it on here? so if you can find my name Kathleen Lewis, you will see the video of the bike basket, i tried to do the best i can so you can see the extra leeway it had

I have never experienced a failure with the supplied plastic chain. I don't see that there would be any problems assuming you took some care with the mechanism and not be overly aggressive while rolling up or down. Going on two years of fairly heavy usage and no issues!

Is it possible that my may have hit the ground with it running, only have to touch it and it dulls the chain ??? My guess is that you will have to get the chain resharpened...... hope that helps..

just get a new chain and you should be ok if you have a good tech. It shouldnt impact it. I have a 105 group with Ultegra cassette and dura-ace chain.

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