If the drop-outs are horizontal then moving the axle 'back' will tighten the chain. If the chain is the original one I'm not clear on why it should be loose.Hey Tom,
The wheel is pushed all the way up in the drop outs. I guess in need to lower the wheel, remove a link and then push back up till tight?
Thanks Gnut,Yeah, that will give you a oh *&^% moment!
The good news is that the sprocket, clutch and crankshaft gear are all located by a soft metal key.... for this exact reason. If anything in the drive line locks up unexpectedly the soft keys are designed to shear rather than have something strip or snap.
