[@willmartin6272]

By far best chain tightening video

[@chrisbilling]

Best video on how to adjust it. Thanks! Lots of videos say 3 finger gap but that seems extremely tight

[@greyhall8138]

Lmao, yo. I loved this video 😂👍🏻 We’re a lot alike. Keep riding bro ✌🏻🔥

[@mattsummers3018]

No need to take the axle bolt all the way off. Just loose.

[@janemccabe603]

[@chrisfolmar4052]

What bolt is this

[@christosvassiliou5857]

Hey you're supposed to tighten it between 70 and 75 lb not as much as you can

[@user-bv6mp5mm2w]

Thanks man that helps a lot 🎉

[@epicalty8474]

thanks this helped a lot

[@shaggymason8415]

Don't you need a torque wrench for tightening the axle nut?

[@TristensTexasYoutube]

Shaggy Mason I never used one, don’t see why you couldn’t

[@codprocamp4690]

I never used torque wrenches as a kid, I use them now but it never seems tight enough

Philmoon69 Thankyou

[@kloxye428]

Is that a 150r?

[@landenbick703]

It's a cr125r

[@jessewolford2354]

the crocs

[@nicholstop8161]

ya that'd be a bitch if the wheel fell off

[@nickd9421]

You want 4 fingers from the swing arm where the rim starts.

[@TristensTexasYoutube]

Would you say its at a good tightness right now? It was pretty lose but it wasnt tight

[@nickd9421]

MotoLogic yea it was close. 4 fingers is just a good way to make sure it's right and easier. I've had a chain go through my crank case

[@TristensTexasYoutube]

nick dailey Oh dang that sucks. What did you have to do to fix that?

[@nickd9421]

MotoLogic it was my pit bike so I just jb welded it and never had a problem with it since

[@TristensTexasYoutube]

nick dailey Haha! Thats awesome ;)

[@detroitpyro2859]

Appreciate the video but i cant see shit

[@lil_grip2384]

If u ain’t riding in crocs you ain’t from the south

[@michaelauskings1352]

Yikes! Too tight! The rear is fully extended. When you compress the rear, it’s going to be like a guitar string. I like to compress the rear so the output sprocket, swingarm pivot and axle are all aligned; this is the tightest point in the wheel travel. I set my tension in this location. Looked more correct before you tightened it. Good luck!

Michael Auskings Thankyou !
