// Adjusting & Aligning the drive chain

Slacken off the main axle nut.
Then loosen the large nut that holds the rear sprocket onto the swinging arm, JUST loosen it, no need to remove.
Now either take off the chain guard or the small rubber plug that allows you to see the drive chain, (if the bungs still there !)
Clean the top edge of the adjusters with some wd40 & a rag, you will notice that there is a notch on the top face.
You now need to clean the adjoining area on the swinging arm & you will notice a row of small notches.
You have to line up the notch on the adjuster to the equal amount on each side of the swinging arm.
So you end up with the wheel running straight in the frame.
You MUST leave about 1" of free play in your drive chain, when you adjust the rear wheel.
This allows for your weight when you sit on the bike.

Now re-tighten the sprocket retaining nut, but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, just nip it up...then the main axle nut.

Also REMEMBER , that if you have moved the rear wheel forwards or backwards , you will need to adjust your rear brake accordingly.
From behind, tightening will make your brake fiercer!!! & out weaker.
