Mikey-uk Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Heya, my chain has stupid ammounts of slack on it but I don't wanna pull the wheel back further as the maggy mounts are already slid back as far as they can go to set brake up properly.Other than buy a new chain is there anyway to reduce this slack? Such as remove 1-2 links? If so how could I do this? Thanks~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guantanamo Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks for the help mate, any way to remove links without one of these tools? Not really mate, chain tools are dirt cheap though. Halfords will have one in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
