Lol.. Was srs. Wasn't aware you could do it without a chain tightener, as I don't have one I thought I'd have to take it in. Shall find the manual for doing it with just spanners

Only eccentric adjusters need special tools. The GN just has the standard setup, undo axle nut, undo lock nuts, tighten adjuster bolts to the same distance each side (there are usually indicator marks to use). When tightening the adjuster bolts ensure the lock nuts don't go tight (you'll see what I mean when you do it). And don't use shifting spanners (with the possible exception of the axle nut), they are called nutfuckers for a reason.
There's probably a step by step on youtube somewhere.

you left out cotter pins. and axle nut is no excuse for a shifter. (insert witticism regarding my handle)

I thought my GN had a lock nut, or maybe that was my VT... or CR... or KR-E... chain adjustment is boring and standard. Actually I think only one had a cotter pin, well I know it wasn't on my RC-31 at least.

They are widely used on aircraft which is generally recognised as a bad place to have failures ???

If you have never seen one fail, on what evidence do you base your mistrust?

i've never been personally mugged by a politician, either...
i just don't understand how they work... add a bit of heat (burning jet fuel, ie, mr aircraft.) and= failure.?

If there's burning jet fuel on your nuts, you perhaps have bigger problems than the type of nut.
