Request for help or potential :laughat: opportunity
Adjusted my chain yesterday from 60mm slack down to 30mm. Now at work today I've got no slack
 Only got the std. tool kit with me so not too hopeful of loosening the rear wheel from the regulation 100Nm I torqued it to. Suggestions? |

OK word of warning to all the muppets out there. Be very careful adjusting your chain when it is in gear, especially when jumpping to conclusions as to how tight it is

Re: Request for help or potential :laughat: opportunity
You sure that its not just because you have rolled it a little forwards in gear and tightened the chain along the bottom. Roll it backwards when in gear and check again.

I am sure that its just because I have rolled it a little forwards in gear and tightened the chain along the bottom. I Rolled it backwards when in gear and it was OK again.

Stu, make sure it's in neutral and roll the bike forward about a foot at a time and check the chain tension at each point.
