Re: Install a 16 Tooth Front Sprocket

Sounds like an easy fix. Once the rear axle is loosened you have to turn the axle adjusters counter clock wise. There is one on each side of the swing arm by the axle. The axle adjusters will go all loose and a bit floppy but don't worry. Now just kick the tire to move it forward on the swing arm. Install sprocket and chain. Adjust the chain for proper slack using the adjusters. Remember a little bit of adjustment (clockwise)will take up a lot of slack so take your time. Try 1/4 turn at a time per side to get familiar with the way things work. It may seem intimidating first time round but is far easier 2nd time round. Yup we have all been there done that and survived with a little help from our friends.
Now some one else can wade in and add stuff I forgot to mention. :biggrin:
