RE: Seized Chain Adjuster.

["Deakin, Tim" <TDeakin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bryan,
It happened to me and it's not particularly down to the UK weather.  As you
know, the hub is an eccenter and rotates to adjust the chain.  The plate
that holds the rear brake caliper also slides to accommodate the movement.
The eccenter would really benefit from a a film of grease but they don't
bother during manufacture in order to save time/money.  Get your dealer to
strip the assembly down and apply a small amount of grease and you should
never need to bother again.

Best Regards,

Tim Deakin
