Chain Slack Matters More Than You Think

Chain slack is easy to treat casually. A quick glance, a shrug, and off you go. But wrong slack can affect the ride and wear parts faster than needed.

Check it the way your bikeâ?Ts manual says. Different bikes measure differently, and suspension movement matters. Adjust evenly, keep the wheel aligned, and tighten everything correctly afterwards.

A well-adjusted chain feels smoother because it is. It is one of those small jobs that quietly improves the whole machine.
