Status: offline 		Is that pocketbike chain?
I've found that it loosens up a lot after a while.
On my car I had it done up so tight I could barely get the connection link in and after a while of driving it had stretched heaps.



Just my experience.

Nonetheless, most chains stretch after a while so it's good to keep 'em tight to begin with.

Status: offline 		Just like a fan belt, chain stretches with use...ever seen ol' dirtbike sprockets that look like surfboard fins? That's from links SO stretched, the pitch from chain to sprocket differs in length. Gotta have a tensioner, or adj. axle, fellas. Takes some time to get to that stage, though.

All the best!
