Default Chain Adjustment

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:

Wrong! You are - it hasn't!

Eccentric adjusters - get tools, sit, look at it.... bloody easy! [1]

[1] And I'm a right gibbon, when it comes to spanners and stuff.

Check to see if you have a special tool in the kit, probably with
two pegs that fit the holes in the adjuster and allow you to rotate it. 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.

It looks like the adjuster on the older type Z's. You do not have to loosen
the nut on those.
