Wondering if this will work for my Mongoose Dolomite, and if so, if I'll need a longer chain. Aside from the tool for the freewheel, any others??

If you're derailleur is a shimano tourney this should work fine without a longer chain. The freewheel tool for the removal of the old freewheel is the only tool you'll need.

That is exactly what I used it for. I broke the old p.o.s. 520 chain and installed my shiny new DID 530 chain on my old Suzuki Katana. As long as you don't apply ogre force to the riveting part and break the pin like other people have. I actually had a spare master link and riveted that 1st to make sure I got it right, then I installed the chain and its master link without a hitch. That was 2k miles ago. Good luck and ride safe!

I'm not familiar with the Mongoose Tyax Sport but if it has 74mm disc brake mounting post on the forks then it should be fine. As for the front adapter it would depend on what size rotor you will be using. the most common size is 180mm. hope that helped.

you can probably use the same derailer and just adjust it for the different size, as far as the chain sizes and stuff, I know almost enough to be dangerous when it comes to bike building and repairing, The way I figure it though, your current chain should be right about the correct size for the changes you are looking at making. As the other person responded make sure this will work for your hub, if you have a freehub this will work (you also need the tool to take the keeper off of the hub) if you do not, you would need a freewheel cassette. The difference is the free hub has the ratcheting mechanism in the hub and the freewheel has it in the casssette and the cassette is removed from the hub. I didn't realize there was a difference before I bought this and ended up getting a new rear wheel to go with my brand new cassette.

Take it apart, put the chain back on and tighten it up. Should work just fine.

Perfectly, I had one installed with the large chainring of 46 teeth. It works without any problem if well installed at the proper height.

That's a good question my friend. The one I bought here at Amazon.com is not the one that is currently shown/sold here.The one I have can be seen here: http://outdoorgearmadness.com/mongoose-status-3-0-review (the bottom picture is actually my bike :) -- I have nothing to do with the website though) The page also include some reviews and comments about the bike. I haven't had any problems at all with mine.

My set up: sram red compact crank and sram 1050 12-32 cassette...works fine, no issues, has been on my bike for over a year...though I did not determine the correct chain length, I had my LBS do it. : )

Not sure if QG3229 is the size for your tires. When I did my research it was pretty well laid out on which chain would fit which tire size. I would say to go to the website and double check the sizes. This is what I did, and they fit just fine.

This chain matches an 8 speed freehub or freewheel. That is, if you count the sprockets (cogs) on your rear wheel hub and you have 8 then this chain will probably work. Count the number of links in your old chain and use the same number for the new chain. If the new chain has more links you should remove some of them. Removal takes a chain tool.

Thanks.. I've done that.. I hope I get an answer.. I've been unable to find a chain that fits my bike.. I hope they can help me.

I bought a 8" chain at home depot. Beans power care. That should fit. My chain is still in good shape. One thing to remember, chains cannot stand sand. They get dull fast. When I work with the chain pruner I make sure that it does not hit the sand.

there's a 17 tooth freewheel for a 1/2 inch chain and a 17 tooth freewheel for 3/32 inch chains, typically the 1/2 inch chain is for true single speeds and BMX bikes, 3/32 inch chain is typically used for 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 gog freewheels, multi speed bikes. A 17 tooth freewheel for a 3/32 inch chain would usually be used for multi-speed to single speed conversions. If you use a 3/32 inch chain just make sure your crankset gear and freewheel are 3/32 inch compatible.

what size your looking? 1 or 2 mm not make to much deference, i think, the chain has some space, in my case i was looking for 110mm then i found one for 113 and is working, i did a race 50 miles and was good no problems at all, good lock, just in case keep looking .........

I'm using my 12-30 with an Ultegra short cage, and it works just fine, this despite the fact that when I originally set it up the opinions expressed at the time said it would not work. I believe even Shimano had a company opinion that it was not appropriate to run that combo. That said, you are still at the mercy of "try it and see if it works." If it were me, I'd take the chance, but you have to make the final call. As in my previous answers about this set-up, I'd remind you to not give up if it seems it won't work initially. Chain length is critical in being able to keep the idler pulley from contacting the 30 tooth cog, and I think I may have messed with the stop screw as well. I wish you the best of luck!

I have, I just used my multitool chain breaker. I had to remove a few links so the chain would be the right length for my fixed gear bike. It's tough at first because the pins are a bit larger at the ends.

Yes you have to play around a little as i did. I switch out the sprockets on mine. That`s just that my chain is two links short, but it should work well. Remember i used my old sprockets, just clean and grease them.
