How To Tighten The Chain On A BMX Bike

Here is how to tighten the chain on a BMX bike. Tightening a bicycle chain is easy. Just loosen the axle nuts on the rear wheel. Pull the rear wheel back to that the chain is tight, with a little bit of play in it. Tighten up the chain-side axle nut. Now make sure the wheel is centered properly and not angled to one side, and tighten the other axle nut. Turen the pedals around and check the chain for tension. There should be a little bit of slack in it all the way around. If it is tight in some places, you need to move the rear wheel forward a little bit. That's all there is to it. That's how to tighten the chain on a BMX bicycle.
