hi trikester,

Did you ever solve this issue:

"I also discovered, while I had the chain off, that there is a lot of drag on the rear wheel caused by the outside brake caliper pad rubbing."

   as I have notice this is a problem with my 2010 S?

Hi, thanks for getting back to the topic.

Are you able to show a picture of your rollers or let me know where you sourced the larger sprocket?

These sound like good soultions

Thanks for the reply I might try that out but to be honest the general noise of the chain when running on a smooth surface is fine.

The "rattle" noise I am describing is made when I go over bumps etc... the chain must be hitting the swing arm in some way, as it's hollow it makes a very noisy chinky/rattle sort of sound. Maybe I simply have not got the tension right but even when I thought I had over tightened it would make some of the rattle sound going over bumps.

The chain itself does not seem to have much space between it and the hollow swing arm.

Or maybe it's not the chain at all perhaps something is just about to fall off!  :-[

I really enjoy using my 2010 S however there is just one thing that bugs me, the chain rattle noise.

I've experimented by over tightening it and this had some effect but still rattles a bit so I put it back to the correct tension. There must be some after market chain guards or extra rubber bits that I can add somewhere to reduce the noise.

So I just wondered if anyone has already had some success with a modification or two?

Also considered converting to a belt drive but Zero says there are no kits to do this?

38 / Reading UK / 2010 S

Been using it as my commuter bike since the beginning of the year.
Had a motor fail after the first 60 miles but Zero shipped me a replacement, since then it's been plain sailing.

I think I must be the first UK owner on this thread.
