Default What's the name of that thingy on the swing arm....

Just writing up my Round the World Journal & I'm struggling to recall the name of that piece of metal on the swing arm. It helps keep the wheel on. It's normally a square bit of metal on the end of the swing arm. one per side, obviously!

chain adjustment guide

doesn't actually keep the wheel on, but supposedly shows when the rear wheel is aligned with the frame, but it doesn't

If you are on about the bit you use to allign the chain then it is called a 'Chain Adjuster Washer' but if you are on about the cap at the end of the Curvy swingarm with the chain adjuster bolt running through it then that is a 'Adjuster Guide Plate'.


Are you sure its not round? Cos the thing that holds the wheel on is round and called a rear axle!

lots of very helpful advice above, but the word you were looking for was:

MOTOR-BIKE
