    i think they are close in length but on the old one i shimmed the motor up a 1/8th inch which i shouldnt need to on this one
    im thinking if i can roll the chain more forward i can get my corners to meet with edge of wheel and not have such a beak

    Good evening Dallas. My lanyard is bright orange lol. It looks like you got some good angles going on, just need to raise it up a little bit. I like the aggressive chains lol.

    Rolling the chain down into the wheel will get you into the tie straps. Flatter gets you out of them

    I get exactly what you're saying. The way this one is setup, they don't last either.
    Going thinner on the sideplate portion of the wheel will help get it out of the straps a little too
