thanks man

Should the back wheel be pushed as in as it can go first before tightening by hand?

[@SkatePro]

Hi there! There is not really a rule - the most important thing is, that your chain isnt too tight. You can slam the wheel all the way back, but make sure that there still is a bit of slack in the chain. Otherwise its too tight and will be hard to pedal :)

Would any chain breaker tool work on most half-link chains? I have a cinema sync chain

[@SkatePro]

Hi Harry, all the ones we sell will work with the Cinema Sync chain. We can recommend this one from Odyssey: www.skatepro.com/en-us/353-45132.htm

Do you ever end up with a chain length that requires the back wheel to sit at the end of the frame? We ran into that when installing a new Odyssey chain. It works but looks a little sketchy

Then cut the chain a bit

Hi - you need the tool :) So if you dont have it, it is necessary to buy one.
