Set single-speed chain tension at the drivetrain's tightest point, keep the wheel centered, and use the bicycle maker's axle-retention procedure.

Size a bike chain with the method specified for your drivetrain. Learn the large-to-large and single-speed methods, then verify suspension movement and shifting.

Remove only light surface rust from a sound bike chain by cleaning, drying, and lubricating it. Replace a stiff, pitted, cracked, or heavily corroded chain.
