Default Question regarding Banshee Chain.

I just got myself a Banshee and the Chain needs to be tightened. Does anyone have any tips for this? I am going to attempt it tonight. Any help is appreciated
Thanks

The job of adjusting the chain is not hard at all....but make sure that everything is strait when your done...if there is any clicking from the chain....do not drive it. When a chain pops or comes off the sprockets on the banshee it can cause a ton of damage quick.

Don't trust the marks on the snail adjusters....lift the rear end on a crate and spin the tires to see if it's strait.

It's a never ending battle with my Banshee.

It gets loose everytime I ride it.

I get there's so much strain on the rear end?

I dunno but it sucks.

If you guys are sick of adjusting chains (which are probably from the CHEAP chain streching) Then get a D.I.D gold series X-ring and never worry about it again. You could put that chain on a CRB600 and never strech.
