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)         away from the straightedge         as shown.

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).
