Chain Adjustment

Haha.

Thanks for the advice. I did what you said without any problems, but my paranoia got the best of me and I bought $33 torque wrench from super cheap. The kind with the hub that slips when you reach a preset torque. I'm sure it's not entirely accurate, but I doubt it needs to be either.

I read a web article that claims that the markings used to keep the sprockets aligned are notoriously inaccurate. Maybe next time I'll try the string method.

Thanks again,
Tim.

I've had the '99 since nearly new & always use the "markings" for alignment.
Hard cornering or at over 300kmph, always felt fine.
Every bike I've ever owned I've done with the markings, and never used a torque wrench for the back wheel, just used what come in the tool kit, as tight as I bloody can!!!
