(04-30-2021, 09:55 AM)The ferret_imp Wrote: No you did it right except re-measure the chain slack if you really adjusted the slack first (as it says above) and then made sure both sides were even second.

I did remeasure after adjusting. I must have broken and torqued the axle nut 10-12 times because every time I tightened it one side would shift ever so slightly. I gave up when I had them within about 1000th of an inch. There are some slight imperfections in the flatness of the metal I was measuring against on both sides, so the measurement would vary about 3/1000" depending on where you had the caliper tips. Close enough though after 20 minutes of trying to get them the same.
