Chain Adjustment the easy way
I picked up one of these:
which I use with this: http://www.amazon.com/Motion-Pro-08-.../dp/B000GTVOJQ To adjust my chain. I got really sick of fiddling with the trial and error little adjustments when removing a wheel or replacing a chain. Those two tools make it pretty painless! I didn't know if anyone had seen them before or maybe you guys know some good tricks! Lee |

Those are both nifty little tools.
Just remember that after a few thousand miles it is common for a chain to have a *loose* spot or two. So when adjusting, first find an area that has less slack and use that for the play adjustment. Also important is to take a good look at your entire chain because a *frozen* or binding link can give the impression that a section is less worn. |
