chain TensiOn & aDJusTmenT

The chain on your bike has been factory set and lubricated. It 
should not require adjustment initially. Over time, however, you may 
need to adjust the tension. If you have any questions regarding your 
chain tension, please contact customer service at 

800-847-SPIN 

(7746)

 for consultation prior to adjusting the tension of the chain.

1) 

Using the 15mm socket and socket wrench, 
loosen the axle nuts on the left and right (fig. 1) 
of the flywheel.

2) 

To tighten the chain, turn the adjustment 
screw in a clockwise rotation equally on both 
sides using a 6 mm allen wrench (fig. 2).

3) 

While adjusting the chain tension, work on 
both sides of the flywheel. Adjust the angle of 
the flywheel so it is straight front to rear and 
evenly spaced within the frame side to side 
(fig. 3).

  »  If the chain is stretched beyond  

 

 

adjustment, the replacement of the chain  

 

is recommended. Please contact customer  

 

service at 

800-847-SPIN (7746)

 for more  

 

information.

4) 

Tighten the adjustment lock nuts and the axle 
nuts on both sides alternating from side to 
side. Replace the flywheel adjustment cover 
before operation.
