Marc Remans Hi guys @ Bicycle Habitat ! I bought a Specialized Tricross (with flip-flop Hub) from you early november, and took it home with me to Belgium. Great bike ! I haven't ridden a geared bike since, i really got into fixed riding (singlespeed is nice too). Just one question though : How to get the chain tension right after... flipping the rear wheel around ? Seems really difficult to have it nice tight... Some advice would be greatly appreciated ! Thx !

Hi Marc - I'll pull one of the mechanics to write a formal reply on this one, and get back to you. Glad you're enjoying your Tricross!

Hi Marc - Snug both sides by hand then tighten the non-drive side. Pull the wheel over towards the drive side, and tighten that, loosen non-drive and let it settle into place and re-tighten. Sometimes you will still need to loosen and tension the drive side one more time. Should be good to go now. Hope this helps! - Eric S.
