Hi,
OK here it goes.
I am used to riding my track bike with a rather high tension on the chain. I have recently built up a bicycle for a friend who couldn't get on with it. Well that was until I loosened the chain tension a little.
He stated that it seemed tough to pedal at first, but after adjusting the chain it seemed to be easier. In the middle of the chain, between front and rear it probably moves an inch up and down in total.
Can anyone explain this to me or if there is a correct way to have the chain tension?
Many thanks in advance.
