I'm not sure it's torque Shaf. Perhaps it's weight distribution and placement?

Can I ask? 3 o’clock looking from which side of the bike?

Sorry Lu. I mean positioned so the BB is nearest the back wheel, so viewed from the non-driveside.

Might have only ridden it for 3 miles but managed to (reluctantly) get some mud on it. Just how the engineer designed it to be...
I think I know why you had inflation issues, that milky fluid you put in the tyre wasn't sealant. :sad:

Make sure there is still a little play in the chain. About play 20mm play up and down us about right, mid point between axles.

If the chain is too tight, judged by rotating cranks stating to bind, it'll wear the bearing. :ugeek:

Its dying for a kindernay gear hub! :grin: :-bd
