Re: tighten rear chain

Bjorn, I'll try my best in simple English.
First undo the spindle nut on the right hand side.
Then undo the big spindle nut on left side. (That's the one on outside of the two).
Now turn the smaller one on the left (the one in the middle)
You should turn this anti-clock to tighten the chain.
But also you must screw the small adjuster bolt on the right so that the wheel moves back parallel in the frame.
When the chain is tensioned correctly. Tighten the left hand big nut then the right hand nut.
Re check to make sure nothing has moved.
I check my wheel alignment with a long straight edge so that it touches both the front and back of both tyres.
Hope this makes some sense. Ron

Re: tighten rear chain

Bjorn, er zijn Nederlanders genoeg op deze forum (sommigen zouden zeggen dat er te veel zijn eigenlijk ! )

Het zou misschien de moiete zijn om Henk te mailen want hij kan alles uitleggen op z'n 'ollands !

Persoonlijk weet ik niets van BSAs behalve dat ik geen wil hebben

Re: tighten rear chain

Re: tighten rear chain

Hi Bjorn,

You said that the wheel is very close to the right side.
There should be a spacer between the hub and the frame,-kind of cone shaped (the rear spindle/axle goes though it)
I would check if it’s there..

Good luck,
Noam.
