sstein Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Tension chain using the good cam on the drive side, tighten up the drive side bolt fully, pull the wheel across using yor hand so it is straight, crank up the non drive bolt. It is easy to do and it works, what is the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
