I recently got a Ripper powdered by Dan. Looks awesome. I put the bike together but made a stupid mistake by tightening the rear wheel before i got the chain on.  :idiot2:

As i have tightened it i know that it is gonna mark the dropouts if i undo. Where the problem lies is that i have tried to put a chain on and it is too slack! I have an Izumi on it. The rear wheel needs pulling back and then tightening.

What i need is either a chain with bigger or smaller links so that it fits the postion that the wheel is currently tightened at. Anyone tell me if i links come in different sizes?

Cheers Nick

HEY NICK TRY FITTING HALF LINKS THAT SHOULD DO IT

they're all a standard pitch nick on bmx, although they do come in different sizes to suit different thickness of chainrings, but you can get 1/2 links to put in if the difference of a full link goes from way too tight to way too loose?
