there's at least one other chain thread, but I'll say this again: as a rule, a smiling chain is a happy chain, but not on this bike. let mine smile and upon slightly aggressive acceleration, the chain skipped several teeth. tightened it a little and skipped less teeth. tightened it some more, almost there. tightened it a little more and wahlah, no more skipping. left it at that. the chain is far more snug than what I'm used to. no removing the rear shocks needed.
