Troubleshooting
Chainblade does not fit chainstay length.
Use the telescopic function to extend or retract the Chainblade within its +/- 125mm adjustment range to match your specific chainstay length. Ensure you are attempting to fit it to a compatible frame.

Confirm that your crankset's chainguard ring supports a maximum chainring diameter suitable for 46-48 teeth. This Chainblade model is specifically designed for this range.
Wobbling or loose fit.
Re-check all mounting points and ensure bolts are tightened securely according to installation guidelines. Verify that all necessary components (like the chainguard ring) are present.
Interference with gears or chain.
Readjust the telescopic length and mounting position to ensure clearance. The Chainblade should not rub against the chain, derailleur, or frame at any point in the gear range.
