Hi Guys,
I haven't given my langster much TLC lately and been riding it quite a bit!
The other day the chain popped off while riding home, I managed to slide it back on but noticed the chain was filthy and was quite slack. Again today the chain popped off twice while riding, so I think this weekend im going to have to give it a bit of a clean / relube and try and put some more tension in the chain.
I've always found it quite difficult to put the rear wheel back on and remove all the slack from the chain, but I can generally get it to an ok level. over time it must of gotten looser and looser to the point where it quite easily pops off.
Anyways I seem to remember seeing some chain tensioner devices that can be used on single speed bikes? are these any good? what would you recommend for my langster frame?
Thanks
