getting your chain tension right is a bit of a Goldilocks Affair too loose too tight ah just right start by hand and Loosely align the wheel in the Dropout snug them down grab your wrenches this is your 15 pedal wrench essentially and you’re going to walk the wheel back towards you in the Dropout so you push the wheel to one side and snug down those bolts push it the other way snug down the other one and essentially you’re going to creep the wheel back until you got about a CER up down movement in the chain keep checking the wheel is perfectly aligned and I always finish with a small wrench to make sure I don’t overt talk it Chain’s good make sure it survives a push test and a shakee test remember this is your only way of stopping the bike so don’t this up

Man.. The Crank is just so beautiful.
dont ever put your fingers on the chain like that ..
What size crank n gear? Thanks
Stupid music, can't even hear anything he is saying. Listen to it before you upload thing like that. It's that simple.
Does your chain make noise?
Those fingers on the chain at the end is a death wish be careful
That chain is far too tight 😂
Too tight
Use a rubber doorstopper as a wedge between your seat tube and rear tire. It will get the chain to a good spot tension wise and help hold the rear wheel in place, giving you both hands to keep it straight in the frame and tighten axle nuts.
I run my chain with track slack and I have never dropped a chain in like 10 years
That chain is way to tight. lots of wear and friction loss will be there lol

I can't even hear you talking through that !"£$ music….
Fruity music
I have this frame 😀
Bro the music is not loud enough
What happens if my wheel keeps moving forward aka loosens up every now and then again after all the bumps in the road? Is there a way to stop that?
Been watching posts for half an hour now … every post contradicts the last one … Reckon I’ll just pay someone to tighten my fixed speed chain. I don’t remember this being this difficult when I was messing around with BMXs in the 80s
