    Hi All,
    My chain is a bit slack, and could do with tensioning. I don't have a paddock stand, and haven't done it before. Is there anyone who has a paddock stand and wouldn't mind giving me a hand?

    Willing to pay, but don't want to f**k it up and end up with a mis-aligned wheel!

    Regards,
    Dan

    You don't need a paddock stand to tension a chain. If your about early this evening I can show you.

    Thanks, Jon, sorry I didn't get a notification about your reply.

    Having tried this afternoon, and failed at the first hurdle (loosening the wheel nuts), I'd really appreciate a hand!

    Will squirt some WD-40 on the nuts, minding the brakes of course - are you free tomorrow late afternoon / early evening?

    Regards,
