first see if you can move your rear wheel back a little more. Many times this inch or two will make a differance, and it's an easy solution. If this does not work, go to your local bike shop and buy a chain breaker for under $10. Rivoli is the best. The shop should be happy to show you how it works.
Good luckHow to cut the bike chain short ?
Yah that's right. The chain links have side pieces that U can move. They should snap out of place w/a flat screwdriver, and U can remove some of the links. Sometimes on larger chains, only one link can be taken off like a master link and then U can take the others off....
there is a master link on a chain that you can pop and then tighting it
first you might need to adjust your wheel to tighten chain,but if its still to loose you need to buy a link remover, and a joiner,remove the required number of links,if unsure do one at a time you cant put back if you remove to many then re join chain with joiner,or take to cycle shop and they will do it for you
there is a special tool to seperate the links..and then use the master link to connect the chain when you have finished removing links..or try loosening the real wheel..and pull the wheel to tighten the chain.
These clowns are all WRONG you must take a minimum of 2 links out because they overlap you lay the chain on its side and grind off two mushroomed or peen-ed heads down flat then put the chain in a vice and poop off the side then the links will separate a chain breaks in not needed because you will probably never need it again. And always wear SAFETY GLASSES!!
remove the chain. Take of the segments u want amd adjust and then fitt
OK
bYE
I agree with ribbed and gary. Try moving the wheel back first to tighten it up. If you can't move it back far enough to take the slack out of the chain, get a chain breaker tool. Take the chain apart at the master break first. Sometimes there is more than one master break link. You'll know that link because it will look different than all of the rest of the links. I believe the one guy is right that you have to remove two links at a time, but not totally sure. It's been a while since I've had to break a chain. Normally, you have to do it on something like a chainsaw.
Get some wire cutters from Home Depot or Lowes. Then have them welded. Heck, just take it to your local bike shop okay! It'd save you lots of trouble and yes, it's possible! Good luck!
