    you are a really good 👍 teacher; you don’t assume that we know certain things; you didn’t use a bike rack, you did it like i have to in a tiny apt. thanks man

    I have been looking for an easy to understand video about adjusting the chain tension in my fixie and so far this has been the best. Kudos to you and hoping to see some more fixie maintenance videos!

    The one part of fixed-gear cycling where it doesn't hurt to be a rocket scientist is setting chain tension.

    Very helpful man. I've reached boiling point tensioning my chain and aligning my wheel to center. I needed this. But it was extra effort for me since my heavy bike always wants to fall over 😅 subbed

    I have a flat on the top of the wheel but not on the bottom. How do I put air in the top of the tyre but not the bottom?

    I hear chain noise at the end when you spin the wheel. Is that normal? I just switched my flip-flop hub over to fixed and my chain is making the same noise.

    I just find something to wedge in between tire and frame while I hold back breaks and tighten

      You can do this, but you run the risk of making the chain too tight, especially if your chain or cog isn't perfectly round.

      i’ve tried that method; that screw accessory will take care of that; most shops can accommodate and it’s a big help

    I have tensioners and I still can't do it its like the frame has a life of its own.

    what rims are those? in terms of brand.

    • @matthewjackson5515
      @matthewjackson5515  2 года назад +2

      I don't know. They're unbranded and the guy I bought them off can't remember.

    I’m so confused: Mathew says at 6:30 mark that the amount of wobble in the chain is about the minimum you want, and then he says he could tighten it more?!‽ If it’s at the minimum wobble desired then the chain should only be loosened further!
