To be honest you are 100% correct this is what happened to me. Which is why I was saying many times in the video may sure you check the tension frequently after the first few rides. I change the chain, set it to 25mm, then after about 50-60 miles it was at 35mm. I reset it back to 25mm and then went touring in Peak District (other video). After about 400 miles the bike was whining a little. checked the chain and it was 9mm 😩
To be honest neither of the sprockets needed changing, I did change the rear one though, purely to make it look nicer as the old one was pitted but not worn. The front sprocket was perfect so I didn't change that at this point. To change the rear sprocket you just undo the bolts and swap it out - it's so straight forward that I didn't bother showing that part.
@@pinnacle_moto I've got an MOT on Saturday and then I'll be doing a full service on all the brake calipers as the bike is nearly 30k miles old now and that is due.
@@NooBiker oh yeah very rare that you would need to change the actual piston but sometimes you would pop it out to properly rebuild the calliper & seals.

When you calibrate the chain tension should be aware isn't too tight for wheel travel from suspension...

Very informative, thanks!
That was just the chain and no sprockets?

@@NooBiker When you say full service are we talking a piston and seal rebuild?
@@pinnacle_moto seals and washers. Not planning on changing the pistons at this point.
