((MODS plz move this to 2nd opinion if you think it's a better spot, i wasn't sure where to leave it))
figured i'd ask this here, maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I ride bmx and fixed gear. BOTH of my bikes have this problem (particularly the bmx), and I am clueless on what to do.
When I put a tire on (or just go to tighten the chain/rear wheel), I find that, depending upon the crank's position, the chain tension fluctuates. I like to ride my chains tight as hell, but, for example, on my bmx the chain goes from loose to tight every goddamned crank rotation!
I'm guessing i'll be told it's un-true sprockets, which may make some sense here. i figured the lil sprocket (25T) on my bmx would exaggerate this. but finding that this happens on my fixed gear too is bothering me. the fixed's sprocket is like 44T and I don't grind with that bike so the sprocket should be pretty damn true!
