Crap... I even looked at my manual and it doesnt say lol. I think, if I remember right, It is clockwise to tighten. What I always do is measure how far you turn it in a certain direction... if its going the wrong way, go back that much and start all over again. If your going the right way... do the same to the other side. thats the only way I can do it hahah


good luck, sorry I cant help any more than that....

Chris

Clockwise would be screwing the bolts IN, which on my bike pushes the wheel forward, therefore loosening the chain.....counterclockwise pulls the wheel backwards, tightening the chain.

Right? lol
