I've got a Shimano 8 speed hub with a coaster brake. I'm finding the chain works loose and it jumps off every couple of weeks at least.
I can't see why it comes loose so fast. Is it just that I'm too girly to tighten the nuts properly (I'm using a foot long wrench for leverage) or is there some trick to getting the chain tight I am missing?
The bike has horizontal fwd facing dropouts not track dropouts, and I'm using the black/grey anti-rotation nuts.
