The chain hasn't needed tensioning in the 10k miles I've had it but it got noticeably looser after this fiasco so I tensioned it on Wednesday.
What's the easiest way to unhook the chain? When I was tensioning the chain I got the impression I couldn't just push the wheel forward in the swingarm to loosen the chain.
Since tensioning, I've noticed a quiet constant squeal from the rear wheel bearings when I rotate the wheel by hand. But only when it's warm. So you might be right. Is that a bad sign? What would be the indication of an over-tightened chain?
Pretty sure it's not brake related.
