My son's buddy asked me this question and since I've never actually removed a chain and reinstalled it on a bike I figured I'd ask for your opinions. He recently removed his chain as his sprocket had come loose and now he's concerned that when he replaced it he just stretched it across the top of the sprockets reinstalled the clip on the master link and away he went. His concern is did he now make the chain too tight on one side while on the slack was on the bottom of the sprockets? What is the proper way for replacing a chain when it's been removed?
