I was wondering about what you said regarding measuring the wheel Rerun. So,you don't trust the tuck marks on the swing arm? I'll have to measure mine this weekend.

As far as adjusting every 300 miles. I was adjusting mine every time I rode when the chain was new. About 50-150 depending strictly on how far I went that day. It finally settled in. Now 1000-1500 miles seems to be when it needs tightening. I have been adjusting to 1" of slack and retightening when it hits 1 1/4-1 1/2 ". But I am also new at all of this. nOOb opinion.
