Re: chain tension
Don't let this happen to you. 1:30 this morning a fellow on a bike had the chain come off and destroy the engine. 1800 kms on a new chain and sprockets. Seems the initial wear/break-in on the chain was too the extreme and he had not checked it since installation. At least he did not fall or suffer any injuries but it could have been a disaster.
