It rubs the inside of the pulley cage. If you're a daredevil, you can rotate the pulley around so that the chain just runs over the pulley and not through the cage, but that's a bad idea. _________________ NC$K / ICC / 155 Posted: Thu Oct 03, 2002 12:24 am the Inbred All-City   Joined: Sep 27, 2002 Posts: 1077 Location: austin are you sure you're gonna have to run a singulator?

Nick, I'm assuming you were going to look at the centerfold in MBA. What a sick bike. James Edit: However, MBA often gets the name of the parts wrong in those "pros bikes" centerfolds. They consistently call Fox Floats, Vanillas.

I love that bike, probably my dream hardtail, gyro, discs, single speed, the works.... -Nick _________________ "Loose is fast and on the edge of out of control." -Robert Duvall
