    Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with Lightech chain adjusters. It appears that the nut on the rear of them is only chrome plated and is starting to corrode after less than a year. The other fixing bolts appear to be stainless steel. The bike gets used in all weather apart from over winter where there may be salt on the roads.

    Have been looking at a set of lightech chain adjusters might just change the bolts to titanium if that's the case

    Looks like it's a common fault with them. Will email/phone supplier this week to see if I can get a reply.
