To all Riders of 2009 Titus bikes .... Just built a 09 Motolite , but i`m having issues with the chain rubbing the seatstay / chain stay when the chains in the smallest cog :(
I`ve posted this problem on various other forums including a american site , and have had some feedback from other riders of 09 bikes and they say they have the same issue ..
i`ve had comments from motolite , ftm and carbon x riders and they all have the same problem !!
Anyone else out there have a 09 TITUS that suffers the same ??

    Which gear combo does this happen in exactly?

    Could you space out the chainset (ie swap spacers to adjust chainline?)

    should be using 1 spacer drive side only on a 73mm BB and none drive side , but even if i remove the drive side spacer , its no better !!
    It happens in either the middle or big ring , but only touchs when in the smallest sprocket !!
    A mate has a 07 motolite and had no issues at all , ... ive tried 3 different makes of wheel and all the same .... I`ve even taken measurments to see if its square and all seems ok ..
    Just seems to be 09 models ...

    Hmmm, yes, nothing you can do with BB. Does seem to be a design fault.

    There is a possible solution... and that is to respace the rear axle, and redish the wheel. Not ideal though.

    Are you the original owner?

    yep .. did think about getting the back wheel rebuilt .. or limit the rear mech , so it doesnt drop into the last cog !! .. and yes i`m the original owner !! .. only got it last week !! .. imported it straight form the states !!
