Chain tension and tensioning a chain

natureboy yeah, that's what you're paying for when you buy a sugino bb and chainset - it comes down to accurate
machining and accurate bb installation.

i remember trying sheldon's method of whacking the chain and tightening the stack bolts (does anyone still call them that?) gradually (on a road chainset) but it never made a blind bit of difference. even with new chainrings it was the same. i think you just have to live with it.

i still call them stackbolts, but only because i didn't know what the hell they were and had to look 'em up on sheldon's site
