I’ve got a rigid frame and if I don’t set the chain to A LOT of slack before fighting the axle nut, the chain will be way too tight. Am I missing something? Or is something wicked off? I know the chain tightens after doing the axle nut, but should it be “a lot”?
have you rotated the wheel off the ground and checked chain tightness as it spins? i had a chain develop a loose spot that wasn’t even, so as i’d spin it would go from absurdly loose back to tight.
