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.

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.

Yes, I believe so. I've been using a bar and chain from another small saw tha got wrecked when a tree fell on it. I am still happy with the saw.

yes i had this problem, but instead of worrying about hte potentially permanent damage it could have caused, i got it installed on the wall for real cheap. By Tr-State Installs.http://www.tristateinstalls.com/index.htm

As I understand, they have one ply of fibrous material encapsulated between the single outer layers which is designed to shred and stop the chain motion in case of accident. I think they would be safe in the event of a kick-back or accidentally bumping the chain into one's leg. Keep in mind, though, that anything other than chain maille encased in heavy leather could be overcome.

I sure hope not! I've been using it for 6 or 8 months and I haven't seen any evidence of damage. the rim contact is rubber and the tension is adjustable. Hope this helps.

I haven't had a problem with the pull chain breaking. It has occasionally been sticky, but is currently working fine.

You had better ask Suntour directly if this is your concern. I tend to violate my warranty on the first day whenever I buy new bike parts, so I don't care. For what its worth, the forks that I received are awesome and ended up being worth the risk.

I never had any problems with that. The clamps are rubberized a bit, and if you rack the bike properly it's a very tight fit. The only way I could imagine damage happening would be due to friction if the cables were rubbed side to side, but I don't think that happens - again, it's a firm, flat hold. I suppose if you somehow racked it with the two cables pitched toward each other with one on top of the other they could rub each other between the grips, but that would be a flaw in how the bike was racked, not the rack itself.

You can't without certain risk. It is recommended to follow manufactors guide lines and use 22" bolt or equiptment damage and injury could result.

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.

Great Question! Im not sure thou. If it isn't being hit directly it may work out just fine. My suggestion try one piece and see how it holds up for awhile before buying enough to line it all.

I have not had this happen. The clip is a metal clip and I can see if it was not firmly attached by the consumer the potential for this type of mishap is possible. Once the system is engaged properly I don't think it is about to come undone.

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.

I was concerned about this as well. However the swing works just fine as long as the chain is square at the top to the seat. I left the bottom eye bolt out just.a bit from the bottom so that the chain does not touch the arm rest. Works well.

Eventually the chains break. It happens. Just go to the hardware store and buy extra. Problem solved.

I personally own this bike, and weigh over 300lbs. I did have a problem with it right after I bought it though. The first time riding it I was going up a small hill and the chain popped. I don't mean just came off the sprocket, I mean sheared in half. I simply brought it to a bike shop and had then put on a better quality chain. I haven't had a problem with it yet. I use it on the street, and even take it off road sometimes.
