when i do sprocket grinds the part of the boomerang that holds the little sprocket moves up so that it is hitting my chain stays, even when i tighten the bolts hard. now that little sprocket is really loose, like it has a lot of room on either side of the bearing and moves left and right when i pedal. how do u fix that and am i supposed to be grinding on the boomerang? (its hard to stay on the bashguard, even when u partially grind with your pedal)

When you hit max grindzor level I dont think you should be hitting your boomerang... is it not rotated far enough up to be covered by the bashguard or what?

well apparently not, but the chain does not run smoothly if i put it up much further. its on a short p.2

thats going to happen if your not grinding properly... But to alleviate it a bit, make sure your BB is nice and tight (not so tight that you bend your boomerang though if you hit it hard enough). Ive also found that wrapping a section of tire or tube over your chainstay where the boomerang hits so that it has a pad to rest on can work really well.

Got it... guess you just gotta put your weight more on your pedal when you sprocket or something then... or singlespeed like I will be doing soon.

PS Anti-Flag fan?
