Just put new continuous chain on and new front and rear sprockets cost a small fortune..just spun the rear wheel to


set chain at 40/50 mm and still got 3 tight spots on the new chain..






is that normal or will it settle down after a few miles?? First chain I've done so appreciate any advice..


Cheers

That means it's not adjusted correctly. Find the tightest 'tight' spot of the three and set the slack to 40-50mm.
