Re: More Stupid Newbie Question NC24-Chain Adjusting
Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2023 6:42 pm
Hi guys,
I need to pull up this thread, because I ran into some kind of Problem.
At the last tour on saturday we recognized, that the chain on my wifes NC24 was way to tight.
So I wanted to adjust the chain slack today.
Loosend the two bolts, adjusted the tension and tightend both bolts back up again.
Now comes the problem:
While roling the bike in the garage you can notice that the tension changes from one wheel rotation to another.
tight as hell...loose...tight as hell...maybe tight...okay tension...loose .
It changes very randomly.
So i tried to clean up the bolts.
One could be threaded out, the other one could be pulled out without threading.
And both bolts have nuts on the ends.
According to this pictures number 29 does not have any nuts to be secured...grmpf

So can you tell me if those two bolts are threaded into the pinching part of the rear hub or if they are indeed secured with nuts?
Im starting to believe that the previous owner has ruined those threads and just tried two use longer bolts and nuts to cover up is.......mishap.
kind regards
Kai
