Chain rollers

[Jordysoso]

My lower roller and post are gone. I was thinking about a chain slider (like Hondas and dirtbikes) instead of a roller. Anyone done this for the lower roller? I was also thinking about the powerlip one but I figured a roller is a roller no matter how you look at it.

If I was gonna buy one it would be thru atv galaxy. Alex, that's just a normal roller, not the powerlip.

Do you need a roller or the one that goes around the swingarm?

I am also missing my lower roller and post. I might just make one with a skateboard wheel

The lower roller and post up by the attachment point of the frame and swingarm. I read about people just putting a slider there but I also read about the powerlip. I notice my chain binding when doing donuts.

This is yet even more confusing, the only slider I know of goes over the swingarm, a roller is either below or above the swingarm pivot

It's the lower roller and post I'm talking about. But I've read places that guys replace that roller with a chain slider lol

They replace it with something like this:

Just do a roller DAMNIT!!!!!

Idk man lol I have problems with my chain catch the side of the roller and binding, which kinda got me thinkin of a slider idea. Just a slightly curved piece of material that would guide the chain as it slides over it into the correct angle.

So you would just be fixing a tweaked frame?

 

[Jordysoso]

No? Lol my idea is to replace the lower chain roller with a dirtbike chain slider. Still have it mounted in the same spot but have a slider instead of a roller. This is NOT like the slider by the rear sprocket. It looks completely different

I think that's a cool idea. Try it and let me know if it works. I might go that route
