Hi, yesterday I tried to adjust the rear chain on my M20 rigid frame. I adjusted the chain such that it has a play of 20mm somewhere in the middle. After...
Hi Sacha, The same goes for the primary chain, always look for the tight spot in the chain and adjust the chain there. If you wouldn't do that you will destroy...

Hi Sacha, The chain tension with a rigid frame doesn't vary so I think it wouldn't be a problem to reduce the play at the tight spot a little. I didn't measure...
