6.2.3. Checking the Chain Tension
In the case of multi-speed hubs which are not equipped with a sprung
load chain tensioner the tension of the drive chain has to be checked oc-
casionally, i.e. every 1,000 km (600 miles) according to use. The amount
of play, midway between chainring and sprocket, should not be more
than two centimetres.
6.2.3.1. Readjusting the Chain Tension on Bicycles with
Adjustable Drop-Outs
To adjust the chain tension the bolted connections of the rear wheel hub
have to be released on both sides. Pull the rear wheel to the rear and
retighten the rear wheel hub on both sides. Check the chain tension.
Make sure the amount of play midway between sprockets and chainring
is not more than two centimetres.
After adjusting the proper chain tension tighten the rear wheel axle bolt
to a torque of 30-45 Nm by using a torque wrench.
The Gears
Danger:
Insucient chain tension
can make the chain come
o, thus resulting in an
immediate loss of pedalling
resistance. The loss of drive
resulting thereof can result
in a loss of control and in an
accident with serious conse-
quences.
Danger:
Check regularly the reliable
t of the axle nuts on the
frame.
Caution:
An over tensioned chain
increases chain wear and
chainring wear considerably.
