How do I oil the chain with this big thing around it?

I'm guessing I need to take it off, but will I need to remove the wheel to do that?

Cheers

You could always drill a hole in the top of it , the same size as which you have a convenient rubber bung to fill the hole.

There is a little inspection hole in the guard. You can oil it in there!! Thumbs Up

If you look in the pic below - about half way along the bottom half of the chain guard there is a black circle, that should be a removable bung that allows access to the chain!! Thumbs Up

there should already be a rubber bung on the side of the chainguard near the lower run of the chain to allow for lubrication and inspection.check the drain holes are clear on the underside so water may escape.

Cheers guys, found it.

Using Tecflow Ceramic Chain Wax btw. Anyone got any views on it?

Also, I think the chain needs tightening...is this another simple process?

i read,in mcn i think,an interview with a chain manufacturer that said most of the failures of their product was due to the use of chain wax.in hot and dusty enviroments it has its uses but as your chain is fully enclosed i would use a nice 'wet'chain lube such as silkolene.when adjusting the chain loosten the nut on the wheel spindle enough that the wheel is able to move sideways slightly then while looking at the chain through the inspection hole rotate the wheel unill the chain is at its highest / tightest point ,there should,on your bike,be about 1 inch of up and down movement.the chain should be well lubed before adjustment and is made by alternately tightening the small nuts to the rear of the chain guard by equal amounts ,this will pull the wheel to the rear and tighten the chain.having done this be sure to retigten the nut on the wheel spindle.a check should be made that the front and rear wheel are in alignment.purchase of a haynes manual might give further explanation by way of photographs.
