paulsmith Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Why the tyre iron? You may have to lube up and ride a bit slower if it is really out of whack, but unless you are east of the Urals, you are never more then 100 miles from a workshop and chain tension is just not that urgent.

Premium Member fddriver2 Posted May 4, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted May 4, 2016 Why the tyre iron? You may have to lube up and ride a bit slower if it is really out of whack, but unless you are east of the Urals, you are never more then 100 miles from a workshop and chain tension is just not that urgent. It's more of a telescoping breaker bar... 14" collapsed 23" extended. With that and the tool kit that comes with the bike you can adjust the chain.... http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/DAG0/711900/N0180.oap?ck=Search_N0180_-1_-1&pt=N0180&ppt=C0337 "It doesn't matter who walks in, you know the joke is still the same" Ft.

timg Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 BTW - 27 mm is 1 1/16 in, in case that is the only type of socket available or may be cheaper, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
