I am concerned with the incident where the person posted that the chain caused some sidewall damage. Is that a real possibility using these chains?

Any exterior chain products has the potential to have some tire/rim damaged if not used to manufactures instructions. Fitment and suggested speed is critical for not causing damage. I suggest making sure that none of the chain or cable components are not touching the rim and that the cross members that run across the tire face does not fall between the treads. If this happens it is called tread lock and tire damage is possible. Please read the instruction, note our waiver of claim if not used and or installed properly.

Hey Bill, I need to look at the info sheet that came with it to give you the answer. I used mine today. The chain doesnt have rakers and it jumps around.

It is not recommended by the manufacturer- probably because the weight of the bike and the rack combined could cause the trunk to come slamming down and cause either injury, car damage, or both. That being said, I have carefully done it (although I am not recommending it either) and have not injured myself or damaged my car. The rack is heavy duty so keep that in mind.

If damage occurs during shipping in USA would be coming. But if it happens from USA to destination outside USA site, it would be by the company conveying that shipment. It is my personal opinion. Best regards

I did not however I don't know why you couldn't. All you would have to do is remove the chain links.

just get a new chain and you should be ok if you have a good tech. It shouldnt impact it. I have a 105 group with Ultegra cassette and dura-ace chain.

I would have to say no. my chain continually flips over and pinches me when I try to fix it.

I have not had this happen. The clip is a metal clip and I can see if it was not firmly attached by the consumer the potential for this type of mishap is possible. Once the system is engaged properly I don't think it is about to come undone.

It's better to put it on when condition requires, you can't drive fast with the chain (any chains) and it's very noisy, I'm not sure if it will damage your car though.

There is some vibration, maybe not as bad as standard chains. If there is a little build up on the road it will help to quiet the noise and reduce some of the vibration.Side note: try not to drive over 30mph, at 35mph I drove for several mile then I saw the driver side chain rolling away from me... not good. So make sure the lug tension is snug and no faster than 30mph. You'll love how quick and easy these go on and come off.

The chains are speed rated to 35mph. Not sure about the warranty. That info should be on Thule's website.

I would contact renthal. You can probably use it,but I would make sure because it is an expensive chain.

The chain saw should not of affected the assembly. Problem is one of two things. First the chain may have just come of the front or rear sprocket. Just push down on chain tensioner and put chain back on. Secound sounds like the Freewheel mechanism (racketing system) may have broken. This has not happened to me (yet) but I hear it is a common problem especially with older MX (2-3yrs old or older models). The rear sproket will turn but back wheel will not turn with it. Only way to fix is to buy complete rear wheel assembly (only way it comes) but does come with new wheel, tire, tube, sproket, completely ready to go. "Razorama.com" sells them on line for $45.00 + shipping. Hope this helps. Gary.. The chain saw should not of affected the assembly. Problem is one of two things.

Scott, I replaced the chain on my and found a site that sells Poulan parts. If interested, I will find it and let you know where to find them.

Is it possible that my may have hit the ground with it running, only have to touch it and it dulls the chain ??? My guess is that you will have to get the chain resharpened...... hope that helps..

I suspect that you will bend the post. Chain link posts are rather thin material.

There is a ribbed track on the sidewall. I can't say I've used a generator though since they cause additional drag on the bike but, it's ribbed so, the application of a generator seems possible.
