After about 3000 miles i reckoned the chain needed adjusted. Moved the axle about 1mm back ,tightened up and went for a run. Bike started whining..not at all happy. Chain was obviously too tight but this is very strange for such a minor movement of the axle. There is about an inch and a half slack now ...hope this cures the prob.
Any tips?

alway check the chain agin when you do the big blots up..... the when you take it off the stand as this can make the chain stretch more....

you may have over tightened the chain and now it has been stretched,,, or i might just be talking sh#t Mr. Green

Thumbs Up

Alway's adjust your chain at the tightest point. Not all sprocket's are perfectly round Wink
