And we're after about 1-1 1/2 inches of up down movement midway between the sprockets...

when you load it it gets tight, so we set it when loaded to prevent the chain bottoming out before the suspension does... otherwise we get uneven stretching in the chain and dodgy rear end traction in corners

chains/sprockets are designed with the driving length tensioned and the returning length not.

scattered showers = wet roads

smc + scattered showers = half smc wimping out and staying warm in bed

wet roads + tar bleed = coroGP binfest OR expensive scenic tour

that photo had a lot of backstory to it but none of it relevant to the club. Im not coming on the ride as I have a family thing on at nine in the morning.
