Fitting Neoprene Primary Chain-case Sealer

[PaulCh]

I have recently bought the new chain-case sealing strip and it occurred to me that it would push the two halves of the chain-case slightly further apart than the standard article. I am anxious to avoid any distortion of the chain-case and I wondered if it would be worth packing out the centre stud by a few millimetres. I have a few fibre washers of the appropriate size (7/16").

Glue the ends if you like, I don't bother. Assemble carefully (Centre nut finger tight, band on, tap around with rubber mallet as you tighten band. Tighten centre nut. Pray to the chaincase gods!) and most important, don't put too much oil in. It only needs just enough to barely touch the bottom of the chain.

I put a smear of Vaseline around the inside of the band to help it tighten evenly ..

It works for me ..

Thanks Taid, I should have looked a bit harder.
