Chain adjusters

Ivejust adjusted my chain and have noticed that the amount of adjuster showing is different on each side.
Imfairly sure that the wheel was straight b4 and that I turned each adjuster the same amount.
Is this normal? Cuz I thought that you could check if it was straight by the length of adjuster.

Hi

I would not rely on the chain adjusters being the same length. Double check with a long straight piece of wood or metal, and then do the same number of turns on the chain adjuster as you have done

All the best

Keith.. what points do you have to measure with the piece of wood/metal?

I think I suffer from misalignment, and couldn't figure out how I could getthe front and read wheels aligned!

I don't trust those adjusters either! :wink:

Hi

Put the long straight bar alongside the rear wheel and check that it is just to the side of the front wheel. Then put it on the other side of the rear wheel and check it is the same distance from the other side of the front wheel

All the best

If you keep riding like a girl on a girls bike thats what going to happen!
What you need to do is get a length of alloy and measure from the the end of the swingarm to the point where it meets the rest of the bike then with a bigger bit of wood ( a sharpened cricket bat works best) BASH THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF THE STUPID ITALIAN JAPANESE HALFBREED, THROW IT IN THE CANAL AND GET A YOUNG PREIST AND AN OLD PREIST TO EXERCISE YOUR BACK YARD!!!!
