Hi again everyone across the water!!! I got in touch with the local genesis dealer in Belfast today and told them about the tight chain. Buying a bike online was something i was wary about in case there were any problems.The guy in the shop said he wouldnt be able to check the bike until next week.Also when i told him i bought the bike online he was a bit hesitant about warranty etc.Is it really worth saving 30 or 40 pounds online and ending up being a second class customer?????Anyhow i cycled over to a nearby shop and guy had a look at it and said it was fine .I told him i was worried about snapping the chain but he said it was a good quality one .He also said BMX chains are set up just as tightly.He gave the chain a slight adjustment and best of all no charge!!!Still getting used to going uphill and feeling the "burn"!!!Cheers guys!!!
