So I adjusted the slack on my chain for the first time by myself last night. The adjuster nut on the brake side was free spinning. It turned almost 2 full revolutions before I felt any bite.

I can see the C retainer holding it on, but is this something I should be worried about?

I'll check it again before my next ride, but I just wondered if someone could shed some light on this for me.

There is slack in the screw between loosen and tighten. Its normal.

I get a little nervous sometimes.
