Whenweadjustthechain,wedon’tfullyunbolttherearaxle.Wejustloosenitandusetheadjustor
nutstodragthewheeltoitsrequiredlocation.

Whentherearwheelisalignedandthechainslackiscorrect,
tightentherearaxleto35 ft‐lb.Tighten
therearaxleadjustors’13mmpositioningnuts,andthentightentherearaxleadjustors’locknuts(the
outer13mmnuts)tolocktheadjustorsinplace.

Wealwayslubethechaineverytimeweadjustit.Youcanuseeitherawax‐

chain
properlyadjustedandlubed,thechainandsprocketswilllastmuchlongerthantheywouldifyou
don’tmaintaintheseitems,buttheystillwon’tlastforever.Youcanexpectthechainandsprocketsto
wearmorequicklyifyourideindustyenvironmentsoroffroad.Chainsandsprockets
shouldbe
replacedasaset.Donotreplaceonewithoutreplacingtheotherorrapidwearwillresult.

excessivestretchorifithaskinksthatyoucannotworkoutbymanuallyrotatingthelinkswithrespectto
