get som e chain tensioners they work for me my chain never comes loose

Mine are half way back - the chain starts off tight when ivew done it but gets slack no matter what i do..

:lol:

get a socket set on the back wheel and plce the axle as fr back in the drop outs as possible - they dont need to be butted up at the very front - mine are about 1/2 way across

that made no sense at all when I read it

:lol:

I cant understand why though - i think its coz i dont know how to tighten the back wheel up properly - it was ok til i changed the tyres then after it wouldnt stay tight - theres 3 nuts on each side - thes the two end nuts - then a locking nut between the frame and the end nuts then theres another one that keeps the wheel tight on the hub.. - Beleive it or not i took it to a bike shop but the bloke said he couldnt do it because he didnt have a socket set :lol: - He said he wouldnt be able to get to the nut inside the pegs. What a shite shop eh - and its got a reputation of being good :boggle:

:( sounds like a new chain and sprocket kit then?

Back wheels done up as tight as it can be. The chain keeps slipping coz it works slack - thats why i just came off it...
