I've changed the chainring, wheels and sprocket on my bike and have been trying to fit a new chain (KMC BMX 1/8") - after many idiotic cuttings in the wrong place and relinking the new chain, I've discovered I can either have it so tight the wheel jams against frame or so loose the chain is visibly bowed with the wheel right back as far in the dropouts as possible. The frame is an aluminium Langster.
I am new to this mechanical activity, so please be gentel if I am being a real tit! I'm now very tired and frustrated!
Any clues please?
