Afternoon all, Over the weekend I took the plunge and part ex’d my EVO for a barely used 2016 260 4RT in the lovely Repsol colours. Had a great couple of hours on it yesterday and all is well. 

I did notice however that the chain has very little adjustment left on the snails, I looked at a brand new bike at the shop and also loads of pictures online and they all seem to come with very long chains as new using up half or more of the snail cam.

Has anyone else picked up on this or is it me?

 

There is two positions for the hex bolt, if you roll the snail cam back all the way you should see a second position to place it.  You then should be able to adjust it again.  

Thanks Jonny, I’ll take a look when I get the chance.
