Loosen Mid Frame; Rear Wheel - Bike Friday Family Tandem Traveler User Manual

Packing: Loosen Mid Frame
13. Unhang Drive Chain
Pivot the rear derailleur
forward to get some chain
slack and then unhang the
drive chain from the chain
rings. If your tandem is set
up with the timing chain on
the le� side there is no need
to unhang the drive chain.
14. Loosen Frame Clamps
Loosen all frame clamps
that hold the center section
together, including the over-
clamp for the rear end of the
mid top tube. If you have
a Project Q, the rear mono
stay does not need to be
loosened.
15. Remove Timing Chain
Derail the timing chain by
lightly pressing on the side
of the chain as you back
pedal the crank arm. If the
chain is too taut to derail, try
loosening one of the bo�om
tube clamps. Then remove
the timing chain and place it
into the light blue felt bag.
