I've never done that trick with the rag to pull the axle blocks into the adjuster bolts. No more palm thrusting for me making my day approximately 20% better

@BrokenSprocket 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah mate it just pulls everything together before you tighten the axle. Glad you're day is 20% better 😂🤣😂

Growing up I have always sat on my bike and checked adjustment on chain, always 1 1/4-1 .5 inches of travel up and down on bottom section of chain, now everyone says get back tire off of ground and put 3 fingers under top section of chain, well just so you know it's the same either way, you can check it yourself, take back tire off ground and put 3 fingers under top of chain and then sit on bike and lift the bottom part, it will have the 1 1/4-1 .5 inches

@ronanrogers4127 4 жыл бұрын

It’s interesting most road and dirt bikes have block adjusters like shown, and all of my previous bikes have, but my current dirt bike (DRZ400) has snail adjusters, ie eccentric cam adjusters with preset dimples for the pins on the swingarm to engage with. Some people don’t like them, but they work really well and it’s super easy to get the correct alignment spot on. Thinking about it, we don’t need the infinite adjustability of threads when chains have ~10mm tension range, so I’m surprised snail adjusters aren’t more common.

Hey matey copied your exact procedure, 3 finger gap with bike on stand, now once the chain is all set… and you sit on bike, it tensions the chain, is it normal for the Chain to be tight once compressed etc or does it need to be sort of loose once compressed ? Cheers mate
