My chain on my bike is to long..what do i do? |
the chain on my bike is way to long..and i moved the tired back but it cant move any farther..and i dont wanna spend any more money i spent alot all ready is there anythting else i can do? with OUT SPENDING MONEY! Go to any neighborhood Walmart and pick up a chain tool. It can be bought for $3 bucks. The tool removes/replaces the pin between the links so it can be shorten. This is what it looks like: http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?categ... or call your local shop and see how much they charge. The tool will probably be cheaper there are two pieces where the chain can come apart and you can take links out tima820, Should get top answer...its correct. i know you do not want to spend anymore money, But you need to spend a few more dollars on a chain tool and take some links out of it. Plus you can use it again in a year or so when you will again need to replace your chain after it has stretched and needs to be replaced. Buy a PARK chain tool they are worth the few extra cents as you can replace the pin. Since you have stated you moved your wheel all the back this is the only choice you have left. you need to buy a chain tool, dont get a cheap one, if you pay about 20 dollars the tool has a lifetime warranty. OR you can get a chain tensioner, it looks like a little derailleur and it picks up the slack in your chain. |
