MOPED ARMY

yea pretty unsafe.... umm i didn't even think of the rear wheel. i'll check that out right now thanks

If it's the two nuts that are loose go with one of the nuts to the hardware store and buy

1.) suitable lock washer for both sides

2) some red lock tiite.

Have a friend help to pull the wheel back and tighten the chain and you to tighten the nuts. It's probably a metric 17 mm wrench. So you need either two or one and a 17 mm socket(one for each side) . Don't use a vice grip as you will chew up the nut and learn to regret that. The chain usually has say a 1/2 " of movement if you press on it (that's slack)

Do not ride this bike until you figure this all out.

yea i got gazelles so i try not mess too much with the wheel once i get it into place because of the tight fit. but yes it definitely was loose. i tightened it up nice and good, ran it on the stand for while just be sure it wouldn't fly off again and that i wasn't rubbing the wheel. thanks again

measure it for length, they elongate and ride up in the gears, 1 foot should be 24 links i believe, 1" = 2 links.

also crusty rusty stiff chains are trouble overall.
