stonks Added a reply to Drive side crank rubbing on chainstay - frame flex or bent crank?
9/13/2023 9:56am My latest update - the movement is in fact coming from the bearings around the BB per your suggestion. If you move the wheel side to side you can feel the movement in that area with your finger. Not sure if a bearing replacement would solve this, or whether the link + bearings need to be replaced (also not sure...

stonks Added a reply to Drive side crank rubbing on chainstay - frame flex or bent crank?
9/12/2023 10:30am Thanks for the info here. This is a lot more helpful than what Intense has come back with - I've provided them with the same videos that I've posted here and they haven't provided any guidance, just that it could be pivot play. They came back this morning said they don't recommend I ride the bike in it's current state...

I purchased this as a frame only and it was build at my LBS so i'm not sure if this would still apply (I can ask the shop to remove the bb and check that there is sufficient grease). Your previous comment on the bearings was one that I read previously (there was a forum...

9/11/2023 8:26am This was one of my first thoughts but I've confirmed with Intense that a standard Sram crank with a 52 mm chainline *should* work. These are Descendent cranks that have been used on other bikes (Spec Enduro, Forbidden Dreadnought) with no issues.
stonks Started a new thread Drive side crank rubbing on chainstay - frame flex or bent crank?
9/7/2023 7:58am I recently built up a 2023 Intense Tracer 29 and have noticed the driveside crank is rubbing on the chainstay under high load (i.e. pedalling up a steep incline). I've seen some forum posts where the cause was frame bearings, the crank spindle needing a spacer, and a bent crank arm. Curious based on the video if anyone has any...
