Tuff Brake

Question about my Skyway?

Hi all. I have a 87' Skyway 280/TA, complete with the Tuff Wheel 2s that Skyway made. They'er coaster brake style, with a metal hub in both the front and rear wheels. Ever since I installed th rear wheel, my front chainwheel at the crank makes a funny noise when I pedal, but only when I "get up on it". In other words, when I pedal hard to gain up speed, it makes this annoying clicking sound when I'm applying force. But when I sit and cruise, it doesn't do it. My guess is- is that it's the wheel flexing. Its plastic after all, and quite old. Is there another problem that may be causeing this issue? Have y'all ever had this problem too? If so, did you find a way to correct it? Any ideas would be appreciated, as I stopped riding it becuase the noise is so flippin' annoying! I miss riding it, so yeah. Please, help me out.

Assuming everything is adjusted properly, your chain (and drivetrain) is/are worn. The chain stretches over time from 23 years of use, and wears the chainring and cog. You optimally need to replace all 3.

Assuming everything isn't adjusted properly, you need to adjust everything properly first.
