Re: [ST] Sagging rear shock?

[todd brockmeyer <tbrock500@xxxxxxxxx>]

Funny now that i think of it, this happened when i
adjusted the chain.  I went back and verified that i
did it correctly (or what i thought was correctly) and
couldn't figure out what the problem was.  This makes
perfect sense now, I'll be checking this tonight.

Thank you for your help,
todd
