Re: Adjusting Chain

[mfay@xxxxxxxxx (Martin Fay)]

     Mike,
     
     I'd add just two things to the advice you've already received from the 
     list.
     
     After you've adjusted the chain, rotate the wheel and check again for 
     a tight spot (you may not have one). The tight spot is more obvious 
     after adjustment and it's worth spending an additional minute or two 
     to avoid the type of damage a maladjusted chain can cause.
     
     Always adjust the chain after cleaning and lubing. A lubed chain will 
     stretch slightly in comparison to a dry chain. I didn't believe this 
     until my dealer proved it to me. So if you adjust your chain on the 
     tight side of the specs keep it lubed or it will tighten up and may 
     cause damage.

Can someone try and walk a TOTALLY IGNORANT newbie through this process?
