Anyone tell me if i links come in different sizes?

The size of the links is fixed cos if they were smaller or bigger, the chain wouldnt fit on the chainring or the freewheel. Its not a silly question, but there isnt much you can do. That is why the frame drop out is a slot, cos you cant be sure where the wheel will need to be.

You could try changing the size of the chainring. More teeth on the chainring will make it a bigger diameter, and take up more slack in the chain. This WILL work, but there is only so far you can go.

Top man Alex!

Silly fooker aint i!

Looks like i have got a show bike whith no chain on then.  :P

Like diesel said. Get yourself some of these, and there will be no problem. Dont most people use them (or something similar) on PKs anyway?
