Solution:
The noise can be reduced by adjusting the chain guide/tensioner.
Please follow these steps:
Locate the
two screws
securing the chain guide/tensioner bracket.
Loosen both screws
slightly. Do not remove them completely.
Once the screws are loose,
push the chain guide/tensioner part outward
to create more clearance between the chain and the guide.
While holding the part in the outward position,
tighten both screws securely
.
Rotate the pedals/wheel and check the chain movement to make sure the chain is running smoothly and is no longer rubbing against the guide.
If necessary, make a small additional adjustment until the chain runs quietly and freely.
This adjustment can help resolve chain noise caused by the chain rubbing against the guide/tensioner.
