Re: Chain Tension
Do a search and all will be revealed. Do you have an owner's manual with bike ? It is in there too.

Re: Chain Tension
If it has 2"-3" of play, I don't think I'd be wanting to ride until it was set to spec. There's a real danger of it jumping the sprocket & jamming up.

Re: Chain Tension
My chain is set all the way to back wheel, cant go further. I have about 1" 1/4 slack and it bounces and hits the bike when riding. I think i need a new one it may be to stretched out.

Re: Chain Tension
Have any of you measured the chain according to the manual to determine if it is in fact streachd beyond serviceability?
