Super quick adjustment of the chain and total confidence the rear is absolutely aligned with the front sprocket!
so am i right in saying its just turning the bolt / screw on the end of the adjuster and thats it to adjust the chain??? just answered me own question doh!!
yep, one click on both sides will reduce/increase the slack by a couple of mm. Check the guides on each side read the same, tighten main spindle nut, job done!
How can that be much quicker? You still have to undue the rear spindle and adjust both sides? Standard is exactly the same is it not? Turning standard bolts both equal amounts is the same on the posh adjusters? Right?
Depends if you trust the marks on the swing arm. IMO Alignment is more important than slack. I tested the marks on the lightechs with a laser and alignment was spot on. Also the Lightechs will resist movement in both compression and tension of the chain, OEM do not.......
Very nice work Kev , lovely looking scoot you've got there I nearly bought the Galespeeds myself in red , they look like a good choice
Also the Lightechs will resist movement in both compression and tension of the chain, OEM do not....... No, the original will resist compression due to the fact that the force is against the bolt, and tension is that fact that the spindle torque is set correct. Honda know the torque figures that will never let the rear spindle slip to enable the chain/wheel to loosen. Fact. Chain aligned correctly is more important than wheel due to forces given in the torque factor. A poorly aligned rear wheel shows more on the chain position due to irregular roller wear.
Yeah that is true. Sorry if I wasn't clear but just to clarify, with the spindle nut loose the lightechs will resist compression and tension. With OEM you need to put the chain in tension (by sticking a bar between the chain and sprockets) to snug the spindle/axle with the blocks before torquing the main spindle nut. With Lightech or similar this is not a requirement.
