you can afjust cable tenison.thats on the shifter itself were the cable goes into shifter theres a adjuster there

You ned to install a tension adjuster on the rear shift cable, somewhere between the shifter and derailer. This can be an inline barrel type, or a cable stop type.

The M592 is meant for mountain bikes with adjusters on the shifters. If you don't have this arrangement, go down to your local bike shop and get some in-line cable adjusters. I found some that mount right at the shifters but have also used ones that mount about 4" away in the cable itself. Jag Wire makes good ones.

It's a mountain bike der, so it assumes that you have a mountain bike shifter. They tend to have their adjusters built in. If it doesn't, you can install and in-line barrel adjuster in the cable.

The only Adjustment on the derailleur is from the shifter side, the barrel adjustment... if there is one there either..then its a manual adjustment at the derailleur side!

Hello you will need to adjust with a combination of the initial cable tension at the machine and the adjuster on the shifter itself. It is not uncommon for the shifter cable or any new cable to stretch a little thus changing the tune of the bike. Good luck.

So long as your new bars are not radically thick or thin there shouldnt be problem. Might be a good idea to get new cables and cable sheaths too, and make sure you know what your doing... some beginner bike modders get this part muddled and then inevitably end up at their bike shop trying to get help.

I have a wierd bike and I had to make adjustments for my bike. Try a bike store, they may be able to help.

I adjust mine at the derailer it comes with instructions on intial adjustment and I fine tuned it with the rear barrel

Does yours have some cushion parts? Where the bike rests in? Better yet, does your bike have casings ? Most bikes come with those. So far my bike which doesn't have a casing for cables, seem to be okay. I think you might look at how your placing your bike in strap area. And if your hard with your bike that too could be the problem. I am sorry that you are not having a good time with your bike rack.

Just finished putting the bike together and am having the same problem. The seat is ridiculously loose, it rotates around and flexes up and down as I'm riding. It almost seems like it's intentionally built this way. Have either of you been able to fix this problem since you posted? Or are you just dealing with it? Thanks

There should be a small metal circle that the cable passes through on the frame. You need to loosen the metal piece so you can get the cable into the loop. Once in the loop re-tighten and the pull is on the frame. That is how mine was.

Add the weight of the MX and the KTM. If that exceeds the 350 limit, you're taking chances. I have a 450# KLR + MX hanging off my trailer hitch on my GMC Savana. I sling the bike with a ratchet strap held by the rear door. I drive in the slow lane and hope I don't have to make emergency manurvers. ALSO..the wing nuts on the foot peg hooks work loose. My KLR would have been road kill if I hadn't cradled the bike with that ratchet strap. tape the threads on those foot peg retainers.

Yes you tighten the bolt at the bottom. What I did is tighten the bolt a lot the just switched gears for the resistance. That way I wasn't getting on and off the bike

There is a screw on the red housing pointing toward the far end of the chain. You need to tighten it by turning it clockwise. But before doing that, loosen the chain by loosening the two allen screws a bit, then retightening them when you're done. If it won't tighten, something isn't right about the way the bar is mounted. (Been there with other chain saws, done that. Getting that right is a little harder to explain than this is.) Anyhow, be careful not to tighten the chain so much that it doesn't run easily. Did that once, and battery life dropped way off until I re-did it and got a more reasonable tension! There is a screw on the red housing pointing toward the far end of the chain.

I understand that. But how do you adjust? Usually spring tension rods you just twist on each side to fit. What is the screw and coil for?

Are you sure the unit is properly assembled? Either your adjustment bar is bent, or your placement needs to be backed off a notch (possibly both!). Either way, your "level position" isn't where you think it should be. Find that position and go with it!

it has been about a year so I can't remember too many details...except to say that the two pedals are not both "right-handed" screws on unicycles / bikes (so that they won't automatically loosen w/ use). Try to tighten (by hand!) the other direction. To answer the support question, probably no where available, and I'm not even sure it is "M Wave" b/c ours says "FUN" as the brand!

I forgot one important detail....if you look at the left hand cable you'll see a piece of 4" long black plastic under that is the plate where you can adjust your clutch cable...good luck...easy fix.

I apologize for the delay in responding. My tension knob works just fine by turning it to tighten or to loosen. Maybe a defective pedal exerciser was shipped to you. I'd ask for a replacement!! Good LUCK!!

If loosening the collars did not work. I would contact Bikehand and ask if there is something else you can do. Mine was good to go right out of the box. Maybe you can just return to Amazon for a different one. Sounds like it's just bent. Sorry those are the only answers I have.

Unfortunately they don't put barrel adjusters on deraileurs anymore. SRAM started it and Shimano followed. You need an inline adjuster now...
