Step 6 Chain and Trim

Now it's time to add your chain. You'll need to chain up your bike with some long chain you've put together - but don't close the ends just yet.

If the chain crosses the path of a turning front wheel, that could be bad. I'm using a derailleur as a chain guide. Simply add a bolt where you want to hand your chain guide from and string your chain through the derailleur as shown.

You can adjust chain alignment using the derailleur's shift adjustment screws.
