How tight is a bike chain supposed to be?
Posted by Jeff on Dec 10, 2008 in Biking
kay asked:
I got a new chain. I counted the links on the old chain and sized the new chain accordingly, but when I tested out my bike I think the chain started slipping on the gears. (it makes a cranking sound especially when im doing inclines) Is there a way I can tell if its on tight enough? Should I take off one more link? Or is it something other than the new chain (like the way its strung on)?
