Default Another chain question.

I noticed my chain was loose agian. Went to tighten it again just like normal. With screw driver through sprocket and axle carrier, I tried to tighten. It didnt. It would loosen a bunch but would not tighten for proper slack. Have I stretched the chain to much? Next question is it me or is the axle carrier suppose to spin a little with screw driver through the sprocket and axle carrier. Or is there a bigger problem. Plz help.

Not sure what its called but the outside of the carrier where the holes are should move. I had a problem the first time I adjusted mine. It seemed frozen in place. After alot of sweat and tears I finally broke it loose. Is yours turning or is it frozen.

ITs turning. The chain loosened when I pushed it forward but it would not tighten enough for proper slack adjustment. Thinking the chain has loosened itself. But that is suppose to be one tough chain. Going to order a new one cause of rust on it anyway, but who should I order the chain through. Who has a good chain at a decent price?

I need a NEW chain also! I am tired of constanly cleaning the mess that the O-ring chain makes. It slings grease all over my quad[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] I will not go back with an O-ring chain, where can I get a NON-O-ring chain??






Bigger.

I was thinking about ordering one from them but, per your advice ced going to order new rear sprocket maybe a size bigger for some more low end power. Will they still have a long enough chain to fit or will I have to buy two.
