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”?

    What I even do is just get them slightly tight with a ratchet/wrench. Maybe like 10 ft lbs. Then I just take a sledge and smack the tire and make sure it butts up against the adjusters. Then tighten.

    Haven’t had an issue since I started doing that
