Hi all,
finished off my bike and stuck the chain on it. The problem I have is when I took some links out and stuck everythign back on the chain was supertight and the nut was almost stickout over the end of the lug out.
I put a link back in and the chain was then superloose with the wheel and nut being right against the back of the lug.
I put the link back in and so have VERY slowly ridden it but thought i'd ask other opinions. Shall i just risk the wheel dropping out and hope the chain stretches or will finding a half link and putting that in work?
I'll stick a picture up to show how close to the edge it is when i can.
