How does it become so slack?? On my last ride out last week I noticed it looked rather slack! taking my rear wheel off this mornin to get a new tyre and I could see metal filings on the rim..oh no this cant be good! Further investigation showed some excessive wear on rear sprocket and scrape marks on frame above chain guard...how does it get to this? is a new chain and sproket req now? sprocket is only 12/18mths old but not sure on chain. Im shocked as I always check the chain when I lube it once a week!!!:dunno
 
Once a chain is knackered it stretches really fast, I think new chain and sprockets are required old boy :thumbup
 
I changed my chain and sprockets recently as I was having to adjust the chain tension after every ride. I have done over 1,000 miles on the new chain and it hasn't required adjustment at all.
