Re: [ST] Chain protector on swing arm

["Dan Wallander" <triumph99@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you are accelerating, the chain is tight on the top run and slack on
the bottom run.  When you are decelerating using engine braking, the chain
is tight on the bottom run and slack on the top run.  The rubbing strip is
there to keep the chain from wearing the swing arm.
