It doesn't answer my question, though. Even though you tighten the chain by turning the adjuster screws counter (anti) clockwise. It may be better to tighten them clockwise once you've tightened the axle bolt. I dunno.

To add to my earlier question to Haystack, if the chain tightens when you sit on the bike, adjusting it to spec will, at least, not make it too tight.

I would say: do not tighten the axle bolt, hold it steady and tighten the axle nut. It prevents from wheel walking and interfering with chain adjustment. IMHO.
