Track alignment

[Carla 123]

How tight or lose is your track. I am of course referring to track tension. If the track is too tight it could act up.

Not the issue at all.thanks

Well turned the trihub around no difference. Tri hub rubbing on inner track nubs .has to move to the right and the adjuster is moving the trihub but it's not moving over if that makes sense.

Some of us went through this back in 14 when the vipers came out. For some reason this skid doesn't lend itself to precision alignment like the old yamahas. I just set mine with equal threads showing on the adjusters and ride. assuming everything else is assembled properly of course. Don't let it ruin your day.

X2 Right I used to do same. 9000mi on that track. New one adjusts easily but I also changed to introvert drivers.

Another thing I do is put a few fingers between the track and slides as i tighten the adjuster and try to feel equal pressure. I know it's not very scientific, but at least it tells me they are close and nothing is drastically wrong.

You sure the adjuster stops are on the inside? Why is TriHub floating back and forth? Take a pic of that thing and the adjusters.

 

[Carla 123]

Yes on the inside .didn't mean float but moves somewhat cause was rubbing on the track and went for a ride and it had moved over.and wheels were tight

I am no good with descriptions. Need a pic. But if you are happy its all good then ride on.

 

[Carla 123]

Too hard to get a picture in there but you can see on my previous pictures the adjusters are on the inside

 

[cannondale27]

Yea looking through your pics if bearings are good I cant see anything wrong with TriHub install. Run it!
