Are rubber adjusters needed for these chains? Not according to the video, but wondering what other people have experienced

No. Some brands require them, but these do not. They are tightened at the connectors, one on the inside and one on the outside. The inside and outside connectors should be on the same link. The first time you use them drive a little, then get out and tighten them to make sure they are snug on the tire. Note what link you connected them on, then next time, hook to that link on the inside, then pull them snug on the outside and hook to the same number. It is easier than it sounds.

The pretension can be "adjusted" by where the gate-end chain is attached and whether or not there is slack there. In my case I could not use the provided bracket with several possible attaching holes for the chain. Instead I had to mount a purchased eye bolt in one chosen position. I also added a turnbuckle at that attachment point for easy adjustability of tension, and a clip or repair link for easy detachment of the chain if needed. Since it's a chain, you can choose the chain link to use for the connection and pretension, then double back and secure any loose end. There too, if the excess chain is not cut off I use a stainless steel spring clip or repair link to secure the double back end.

Yep, turned out whoever assembled my saw put the chain on backwards! Now that I've fixed it the saw works very well. I just hope I didn't cause any permanent damage running the motor for so long.

I don't remember having sidewall damage to our tires but there were some nicks to the tread, nothing that I would consider unusual when one factors in the extreme conditions and environments these chains are used in. One must remember that tires aren't made to be driven on chains for extended periods. Is it possible...I would say yes. But I think that would apply to any chains??. For what its worth...

hey john theese are excellant chains---look at buying them for your tire size---I never put mine on---don't need them on a snow blower unless your going up an icy hill

just get a new chain and you should be ok if you have a good tech. It shouldnt impact it. I have a 105 group with Ultegra cassette and dura-ace chain.

If the walker is brand new (out of the box), it may take more effort to push DOWN on the brake handles. They should not need any adjusting at this point (I would not attempt to adjust them if you don't have experience doing this sort of thing).

Never a silly question:) The inside straps with hooks actually got caught in my chain & snapped off & I had to fix the chain. I would make sure they are very securely hooked onto something or cut them off altogether. The other hook on the other side got caught in my wheel & snapped off!

For me, improper adjustment was the cause. I watched a few YouTube videos, and adjusted them myself. Problem solved. A bike shop can do it for you if your not a DIYr.

I have the same problem with the chain coming off. When I used it I spent far more time putting the chain back on than I was able to use the machine. Should have taken it back. Not usefull at all.

A heavy chain works very nicely. I was on mine yesterday adjusting tension on both ends by just hooking into a closer link, evenly on both .dided

I had the same problem and found out I had the wrong size chains. I needed them immediately so I had to buy from a local dealer. Amazon was great and took back the ones that did not fit. I followed the sizing instructions on Amazon website and they were still to small for my tires.

I would also recommend checking the online tire size recommendations. I believe these chains will be too large for your tires, even with the tighteners.

I believe they are meaning chain tighteners which you buy separately. Highly recommended

Comes with a tool to loosen the bolts and screw the bar adjustment. Haven't been able to get mine started for months so I haven't needed to adjust the chain. I wouldn't buy this chainsaw again, ever.

Chain loose? If still jumping off, go over chain link by link and make sure it can sit all the way down in the groove on the bar. If it can't, straighten it where bent, file it so it will, buy a new chain.

T. Yuan was right- I'm surprised anyone is using the bike like this or just stuffing stuff in there to make it tighter! that's pretty dangerous.... use the wrench that came with it, or your own wrench to tighten it and make the opening tighter once it's on the pole.
