I'm going to put this here because I'm positive that some viewers will ask. Rear axle nut torque: 80Nm or 59 lb-ft Nice bling chain btw!

Awesome! Thanks for chiming this in and adding the torque axle nut spec, that is much appreciated and helpful! Thanks for noticing bling chain, it makes me quicker on the trails of course too. ;)

Thank you “barely hitting the top” is the simple advice I needed 😂👍🏼

This is an EK 3 D chain. Excellent chain and looks cool! 👌

Awesome video thank you

Thank you! This is a huge help!

You are so welcome! Glad it helped! Took some fiddling before I figured it out. 😀

to clarify, after finding the correct tension, you tighten the axle nut to spec, then tighten the nuts on the adjuster bolt? This is the part of bike maintenance that drives me crazy, as it seems to take me many tries to get a good setting.

3 fingers is all I’ve ever used

the geometry of some of the austrian suspensions require slightly more chain slack than other designs

This bike has one of the dumbest chain tensioning routines that I’ve ever experienced.
