I dont know if this is bad but I dont think I even know how to put my wheel back on with a peg and a chain tensioners. I tryed putting somthing on the front handel bars so my bike wouldnt flip over when trying to pull the wheel back to make it tight, eveytime i tighten the bolts then I cant move the wheels and the chain isnt even tight and when I tryed tighing the chain tensioners it made it even harder to move the wheel. I was trying to figuer it out for like 3 hours just tighting but I dont know how to do it. I need a guid to puting the back tire on. I am a dumbass and have troble learning things.

Admitting your problems is the first step to recovery.:D

I'm not real sure what your having trouble with...

you have your tensioners on your axle, right? then you have your peg on and the nut inside that?

do you have two tensioners or just one?

you should be able to tighten the screws/bolt/nut on the tensioner so it pulls your wheel backwards, making your chain tighter. then, simply tighten the nut on your axle.

what I do, to keep my bars from coming off the ground when tightening my axle nuts is stand up over the rear wheel and put one of my feet on the top tube. this helps hold my bike in place while I crank down on the axle nuts.

Take a look at http://www.bmxtrix.com/how_to/tech_tips/freecoaster_and_axle.htm

It should give you some insight on installing your rear wheel, the order stuff goes on, and how to adjust it.

make sure you wheel freewheel isnt rubbing against the chain tensioner...happened to me so i sanded it down a tad and make sure theres a little bit of slack and u didnt tighten to much
