How to adjust the bicycle chain?

Chain drops are the most common chain failure during daily riding. There are many reasons for frequent chain drops. When adjusting the bicycle chain, do not make it too tight. If it is too close, it will increase the friction between the chain and the transmission. , this is also one of the reasons for chain falling. The chain should not be too loose. If it is too loose, it will easily fall off while riding.

The method to test whether the chain is too loose or too tight is very simple. Just turn the crank with your hand and push the chain gently with your hand. If it feels very loose, adjust it slightly. If it is too close, adjust it. If the limit screw is loosened, you can actually identify whether the chain is loose or tight based on the tension of the chain.

Chain breakage often occurs during strenuous riding, excessive force, or when shifting gears. Chain breakage also often occurs during off-roading. When pulling forward or backward to change gears, the chain may break. The tension increases, causing chain breakage.
