hi guys, apologies if this seems like a daft post, but I could do with a little help and clarification if possible?
today I thought I would lube my chain and once on the paddock stand noticed that the chain was a little on the slack side so I decided I would adjust it.
so I undid the large nut on the sprocket side, backed off the lock nut on the adjuster, tapped the nut/ axle and tried to tighten the adjusters a little to bring back the wheel, but there was no movement and I feared if I forced it I would snap one, so I tapped the nut/ axle again but still too tight to adjust the wheel.
So I got a 36mm socket out and tried to ensure the axle bolt was free, but it was very very tight.
Just to confirm there is nothing else I need to loosen off, there doesn't seem to be but I thought I would ask.
I am guessing the axle is just stuck within the wheel and spacers etc?
Any help would be appreciated
