Retro Andy's project

Charlie's back on the road again, i removed the tensioner, give it a good clean and lubricate, and fitted a better chain (the clip was'nt broken) and it seems much better.

Which chain did you fit andy ?  Mines crap and would like to replace it. Do you have some kind of a link ?

Cheers

I got it from a different bike shop in town to the previous one, the brand is KMC silent bike chain, i had a quick try after fitting it and pedaled as fast as i could with no problems, still need to try it a bit further and up a hill to be sure, but it sounds much better than before.

Found these pictures the other day, i took them last year before the royal run when i was trying the route out, he know has the C5 Alive black mudflaps, a high vis mast, a pair of mirrors and i did remove the plate.

I recently  had the same problem and it turned out to be the spring on the chain tensioner.
Replaced spring and now all ok.
