Hi,
I managed to make a rookie mistake today and messed up a simple task trying to tighten the chain slack. The chain was fairly loose but didn't realize how much tension is achieved on the chain pullers with just a few turns of the bolt! I got a little out of hand and ended up over torquing the bitch which crushed the aluminum a bit... not happy about it.
I'm going to go to the stealership tomorrow and order a new one, but I'm sketched out to even ride it now because of how precise the adjustments need to be when making both sides even. It could be out up to half a mill on the notches now, it's hard to tell.
How serious is this?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
