130-90-16 touch chain guard?
I just had some 90 profile tires installed on my pregen F bike and now I noticed the rear is very slightly rubbing on the chain guard. I also have a newgen shock installed, does anyone know if this is normal?
I have removed the guard but would like to keep it so I might just cut a hole where it contacts with the tire and reinstall... |

Check your alignment of you rear wheel. Mine aren't even close to rubbing, and I've never heard of this happening before.

I'm asking because I have a 15t in the front and that might make my wheel closer to the more narrow part of the swingarm. it looks like if I had a longer chain, or just more slack, the wheel would be positions further away from the vertex |

Yeah I do have the stock sprockets. That might make up the difference I guess. But I feel like if it doesn't touch the swingarm, it shouldn't touch the chain guard? Let me go take a look at my bike and guestimate.

Shinko 712 on there right now. Had a bridgestone before that. Had Pirelli before that. Kenda before that. I think most of those were 90 profile...Kenda was 70, maybe also the pirelli.
