Loosen the rear axle nut. Next, loosen the nuts that lock the wheel adjusters and look for the notches that tell you the position of the wheel telative to the bike frame. Move the wheel back a bit until you are sure the chain has the optimal tension. Make sure the wheel is not skewed to either side by looking at the notches on either side. Get a torque wrench to fasten the wheel in place at this point. The chain must have a bit of slack, it should never be totally stretched out. You should have about 1.5 inches of vertical chain movement when you push it up. Clean the chain with WD40 or some thin oil that you then wipe off. Now apply chain lubricant or simply engine oil to the chain. Take a test drive on the bike, then check if the wheel is tightly in place and that the chain has the tension you want.
