    I found it, this is the one I have the long handle allows more precise adjustments.

    The hub is notorious for seizing, so you need to, know its serviced or do it yourself, to save more work later.

    You need to set ( slacken hub, adjust, tighten ) the chain on the centre stand, but measure on the side stand.
    Check for seized links wear on sprockets and stretch on chain, always measure with the slackest part of the chain on the bottom in the middle. you want 26-38mm of slack when your done.





    Paraffin and a toothbrush works well for cleaning. lube is a many headed conversation I use dry lube.
