I really don't know much at all about bike mechanics, so if you need more info, please be very specific and dumb your questions down a lot!!
Thanks a lot! This is my main commuter and I don't want to ruin it!
Is it a 1/8" chain or a 3/32"? If it's the latter, what sprocket (cog) are you using - and here a pic would be opportune.
