i hate to resurrect this thread, but i could use some advice. the new bike/chain is at ~1500 miles now, and seems like it could use a little tightening up. do i do this on a jack, or while it's on the stand? what do you guys mean by 'find the tightest spot when you make the adjustment'? if it's on the floor, i imagine i could roll the bike to make the chain tight, if its in gear.
i looked in the technical thread, but for noobs like me, maybe someone could quickly scribble out a 'chain adjustment for dummies' type of instruction.
e.g.
1) put the bike in neutral
2) roll till chain is at tightest
3) blah blah blah
i have no idea if this is even how it's done, but i would really appreciate a step through. i'm not interested in ruining my chain any faster than i need to, so...
jack, no jack?
gear, neutral?
tightest chain position when 'rolling the wheel?"
