Old school chain, how many links?
Retrodan72:
Paul what I tend to do is true the rim up to my brake blocks, then push the wheel forward half an inch, them I remove enough links to leave a fairly slack chain. Once linked together and fitted, pull the wheel back to its original position in the dropouts, remembering to centre the wheel whilst doing this.
Your chain should be tight but with a small amount of bounce. Making your chain as tight as possible will destroy your freewheel. :daumenhoch:

The Dazzler & Joff show's in town eh Paul? I'd have a word about that gearing as it sounds to me like they're building you one of Kappy's clown bikes fella...... You'll be pedalling like a lunatic!
39 on the front = 14 on the back mate...... Not 18 ::)
Or 18 on the back = a coping-crunching 49/50 on the front....
Give the pair of simpletons a hug from me will ya ???
