The chains getting a bit loose on the Goose.... That sounds like it could
make a good metaphor, but I dunno what for yet? Anyway, any tips before I do it, or I'll just blindly go for it and hope for the best... PS, I'm not a retard, it's just got a weird setup... see: http://www.ibike.com.hk/01_bike_repo...oose_rear_whee l.jpg And http://www.ibike.com.hk/01_bike_repo...oose_rear_disc ..jpg TIA -- Dynamic - 'Faster than Spete' ZZR 250(x2), TZR 125(Damaged), VF 500(In bits), SG350 MIRTTH#23 SH#5 |

I presume then set-up is similar on the other side; looks like you just slacken off the pinch bolt, rotate the eccentric to adjust the axle position, make sure both sides align to the same mark (the little arrow at the front) and tighten the pinch bolt again. I don't think you have to loosen the axle nut, that appears to stay fixed within the eccentric. -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.
