Brought both my MTB’s along when visiting my in-laws this weekend to do some maintenance. Both bikes needed a good washing and some maintenance. First I had to take care of my commuter bike, I was unable to apply enough tension to it using the tension seeker. According to the user manual the best way to apply tension is upwards, but when I mounted the single speed kit earlier this year the chain was so long that it was not possible, so the chain had to run underneath the tension wheel. But now the chain had been stretched so much that I was not able to apply tension downwards either. So only solution was to cut the chain, a bit uncertain when doing that because I had to cut away two cufflinks which is about two cm as the picture shows.
The chain had to be of the cog in order for me to lock it together, but when done I could just put the chain in place by spinning the pedals like I did on my old bike when a boy and afterwards apply tension to it. So now as you can see, all according to the manual
Noticed when cleaning the chain to my Kona-bike that it was a bit damaged. A bit uncertain right now if I need to change the cassette as well because of this, must find out how to figure that out. The cufflink in the middle is damaged the most, the one to the right has got its share of beating as well, and the one to the left is as it should be
