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?

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 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 would have to say no. my chain continually flips over and pinches me when I try to fix it.

It should do a very good job if the chain guard does not interfere. The connecting bar fastens there and the chain guard will probably need to be removed.

Yep, turned out whoever assembled my saw put the chain on backwards! Now that I've fixed it the saw works very well. I just hope I didn't cause any permanent damage running the motor for so long.

I have not had that problem on my machine.But I do have 30 years in repair work at a oil refinery.You did not say how old your machine is, but if you have had it long enough to wear out the sprocket it must be fairly old.If you did not replace the chain at the same time you replaced your sprocket then you are putting the wear pattern from your old chain to your new sprocket. This will cause a vibration that will transfer into your other problems.You need to check all of your sprockets and chain for wear. In putting it back together you have to have the tention on your chainis not too tight or too loose. you should be ale to raise it half the thickness of your chain, I hope this will help you I have not had that problem on my machine.But I do have 30 years in repair work at a oil refinery.You did not say how old your machine is, but if you have had it long enough to wear out the sprocket it must be fairly old.If you did not replace the chain at the same time you replaced your sprocket then you are putting the wear pattern from your old chain to your new sprocket.

oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive. It's on the way, should I just immediately send it back and eat the shipping charge? I wouldn't be surprised that these are on sale now as Schwinn prob has fixed models out now. I am assuming that if I keep this bike it will crap out shortly. If I do keep it, should I immediately call for the new motor and then the control panel before even using it? Will the original motor work with the new panel? uggggh. not looking forward to this. Any chance we can convince you to put up a website with pics of the fixes?? ; ) oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive.

I am not sure. I personally do not see the harm, but I am not a mechanic. sorry I could not be much of a help.

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 did not however I don't know why you couldn't. All you would have to do is remove the chain links.

Personally I would correct the installation. It may not move and appear solid but do you want to risk it with 300lbs on your back? I wouldn't. This is a safety issue and should definitely be corrected.

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.

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.

YES - i contacted customer service about this because i did not want to damage the pedals, the answer is yes, no problem.

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.

I wouldn't see why not. From the look of the pictures it seems you can simply move the chain links up some.

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.
