My chain ate chunks off my clutch case

[davidguest]

Hello today i was replacing some bad spokes and trueing the wheel and when i put everthing back it was really weird the chain had a continiouis popping sound and when i pushed too hard the chain falls off i wanted to see what it was and when i opened that clutch case i saw that my chain just ate chunks off my clutch cover.any help regarding what this may be causing thta my chain is eating chunks would be appreciated i have enough money to buy a new clutch cover and such but i want to prevent this problem in the future thanks.

Make sure the drive sprocket is on tight.

Just exactly how did you true your wheel?

Did you get the horizontal and vertical movements within a millimeter?

Did you check the spoke tension?

Did you also check the dishing on it as well?

Hopefully you replaced the spokes with one of the big 3: Sapim, DT, Wheel Smith.

Where did the clutch arm go? Did it eat it too?

Seeing where it was hitting, I am leaning heavily toward the chain tension being very loose.

i did it not so accurate it was a 1,5mm wobble and i did it with sapim spokes and the spokes are pretty solid and i trued it with a spoke tensioner

i guess it can be but when i sat the spoke tensioner higher it just felt harder to move around and when i pushed and sat on it the chain popped off
