Need help with Felt Crank set up???

[Semtex1979]

Hi guys this may sound like a stupid question but I took of the right hand side crank off my Felt BMX and the chainring to and not sure how it goes back together. I think I have put the spacers back wrong and now my chain tension is all over the place when i pedal (ie loose then tight loose then tight etc) If someone here has a Felt BMX and could tell me how this is supposed to go back together I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers,

When you put the crank arm back on,there should be a spacer that slots inside your chainring/sprocket. you press that inside then slide the arm back on,make sure the bolt that secures it to the crank arm is tight. without that spacer it doesn't locate too well,and hence you get that up and down tight/loose sensation.

circled the spacer:

Thanks for that that has cleared up a lot I still have a small rind which is called a dustcap I believe that covers the Sealed bearings. But then there is another smaller ring thats not large does that go after the dustcap?

it might be a spacer for between the 'dust cap' and the crank arm.

Good practice for the future is to put everything on a table,in the order you pulled it off. put it together with that little ring on there too,and tighten the cranks up,see if you have any play or movement. pretty simple crank design though. shouldn't be any dramas.

the spacer that goes into the chain ring did u say it goes on from the outside or inside of the chainring sprocket??? I tried to put it in the chainring from the inside and it doesnt fit which means it must go in from the outside is that correct? Sorry was that what u meant?

i'm not too sure there dude,they generally press in from the inside,into the sprocket.outside sounds a bit weird.you have to loosen the bolt on crank arm that holds the sprocket on,and put that spacer in first,it will locate and then just lock the bolt up.

take a photo if you can
