Re: KMX BOOM

Hi Bruno

I posted the pics of the boom/frame in my album. As you can see there is no slot
or any screws. So I am guessing that this is a new version or not on the Cobra.
What's your guess? Anyone else have a Cobra and if so what do you have?

I did not get a chance to ride today but tomorrow for sure. I will report back
on the slippage with the extra link in the chain.

Cheers!

Hi, Yes, I had the same problem of the boom creeping back in after a few miles of riding. On the advice of the people at my local bike shop, I added a shim cut...

... Any chance you threw out the black plastic sleeve? It looks like trash but is needed for the boom, or else it will slip. It's a PITA to put in, but once...

... Hey Dom, You can check if the chain is too tight by shifting to both larger cogs front and back and check if the rear deraileur becomes horizontal. Move...

Bruno, when you say the screws on the bottom of the boom I am not sure what you are referring to. The only screws I have on the bottom of the boom is the one...

Bruno I checked this morning and there are no screws on the bottom of the boom. Must be a change in the model. I think I will focus more on the chain the two...

... Bottom of the frame where the boom meets it? There should be a cut in the frame below and 2 screws, or at least the mounts for them, can you take a picture...

Just checked your pictures and though they are too small I think I can see the screw mounts I'm talking about. They are in the frame next to the cut in the...

Hi Bruno I understand what you are talking about. I own two other trikes and they have this type of setup with a cut in the frame and then the bolts to pinch...

Hi Dom, ... That'll make it more difficult to hold the boom, but maybe it is for structural reasons. So the frame is stronger in that area. ... Let us know...

Rode today after adding in the extra link and applied lock tite to the two bolts. The boom did not slide in so it looks like that might be it. I do have some...
