Rear Chain Adjustment
This adjustment is made by movement of the rear wheel. Fig. C49 shows the adjustment points. Proceed as follows:
1 | Slacken the rear wheel spindle nuts (A).
2 | Release the chain adjuster locknuts (B).
3 | Pull downwards on the bottom run of the chain to bring the spindle hard up against the adjusters (C).
4 | Turn each adjuster an equal amount until, with the rider seated, there is a total up and down movement, measured in the centre of the bottom chain run of 3/4 in. to 1 in. (19.05 to 25.4 mm).
5 | Tighten securely the adjuster locknuts (B).
6 | Tighten the wheel spindle nuts and recheck the adjustment in at least three places. Should there prove to be a tight spot, readjust to give the correct up and down movement at this point.
7 | Finally, recheck rear brake adjustment as in Section H13.
