short and sweet. took me a long time to figure out I could adjust the chain tension using the other side like this.

I have a Derailleur bike and your video helped me center my axle in my frame. Thank you it was a tremendous help.

[devinbyrnes]

I noticed my new bike did not have the rear wheel centred in the frame. This video was helpful. Going to give this a try.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[tylerbrock]

thank you! Worked great on my Beach Cruiser.

I do it the same way except I tighten the non drive side first because I feel like it gives me more control over the chain tension

[AcvaristulLenes]

If I tighten the non-drive side to the max, I cannot stop the wheel from going off-center in the opposite direction.
Should that nut be tightened to the max or should I let it in the position where the wheel is centered?

[The-Paradise_bmx]

Yo this helped alot. My breaks don't rub the wheel anymore!

[jacksonzante]

thanks dude got a new setup and my wheel seems crooked and everyone says no but i ride it and know lol so thanks for someone taking the time

[xpndblhero]

When I was a kid I made a wedge out of a small block of wood so I could slide it between the tire and the chain/seat stays... Had 1mm marks so you knew that it was even, then I used this trick, then I used chain tensioners so I could finely tune the back wheel and I loved them. Then I broke them... Now I'm just lazy and I use this trick again. LoL

Do you have a video that shows how far can you place the axle in the dropout?? sometimes to tight the chain the cassete axle stays kind of out of the drop out... let me know bro
