      I thought that, it was so good to see the two of them documenting their own ways. I have never met two virgins to the slaughter before, and can't wait for the outcome. Brilliant filming and they have totally done it the correct way for success. It was cold that night, a few degrees less with that Cider inside. Just so good to see 2 guys two Honda 250 rally bikes on their way you one of many l am sure, yes adventures.

I've just come back from a nights moto camping ( trial run) at my mum and dad's house lol, as I've got older I'm yearning once again for adventure, done wild camping, hiking, biking and I've even booked an off road course so I'll be less shit at that hopefully.

    Talking about chains, how much slack do you guys adjust in yours? When I set mine to say 30mm and sit on the bike the chain is like a bloody banjo string !!

    • @lightweightadv
      @lightweightadv  Před 2 lety

      Hey Ian, I adjust mine (Marc), so that with my weight on the bike, I have around an inch of movement. There isn't a lot of difference in back wheel movement between 30mm or chain play without weight vs with weight, so I always adjust with weight. Does that help? 😎👍🏻

    • @iangriffiths9930
      @iangriffiths9930 Před 2 lety

      Yeah kinda, I think a lot of people adjust there chain with weight but the manual says just on the side stand? I’ve been adjusting mine to 40-45 mm on the side stand and it still feels a bit tight when I’m on it. I also get some chain like chatting when hit really rocky sections at speed not sure if this is normal? Anyway thanks for the reply 👍
