3a. Chain driven Bike
Check the amount of play in the chain. To do
this, first sit on the saddle, place your feet on
the pedals, and move the pedals until the
crank arms are horizontal. Next, pull up the
emergency brake handle and hold it. Then,
stand on the pedals and rock forward and
backward. There should be no more than
1/8th inch (2–3 mm) of play in the chain. If
there is too much play in the chain, or if the
chain makes a clicking noise, pull off the right
and the left maintenance covers (A).
Loosen the axle nut (B) on both ends of the
flywheel axle two full turns. Next, loosen the
lock nuts (C) facing the head of the Allen bolt
on each side of the flywheel.
Then, turn both (right and left sides) of the
adjustment screws (D) on the inside of the
flywheel bracket 1/4 of a turn at a time
(tighter or looser) until the chain is properly
adjusted. Make sure to turn both
adjustment screws exactly the same
amount to avoid misalignment of the
flywheel. Finally, retighten the two lock nuts
and the two axle nuts, and reattach the
maintenance covers. Re-check the amount of
play in the chain as described at the beginning
of this step. If necessary, readjust the chain.
Do not over tighten the axle nuts (B) to
avoid damage to the flywheel bearings.
Unusual noises or vibrations are indications
that the chain has been over tightened or that
the flywheel is at an angle.
