ADJUSTING THE CHAIN
B
WARNING! Do not attempt chain repairs. If there is an issue with the
chain, have a bike service shop make any repairs.
Adjustment:
The chain must be at the correct tightness. If too tight, the bike will be difficult to pedal. If too loose, the
chain may come off the sprockets.

When the chain
is at the correct tightness, you can rotate the crank freely and you can pull it no
more than half an inch (1.27cm)
Adjust the tightness of the chain as follows:
•
Loosen the axle nuts of the rear wheel
•
Move the rear wheel forward or backward as necessary
NOTE: Make sure the rear wheel is in the centre of the bike frame
Hold the wheel in this position and tighten securely (see torque table for recommendation of torque value).
