Tighten it all the way and make sure the bolt is tight. Get a chain tensioner?

I went to the new shop today and they carry hoffman, GT, haro, DK, and eastern. they only had one or two of each brand so i rode one of each, of all of them i liked the eastern battery the most, the geometry was very comftorable. they said they could order other bikes form them so i`m looking at the eastern element is it any good? They also said that i could trade in my mirraco for credit.

I've heard from a few posters that Eastern should be avoided. What about Premium and Colony?

not to sure what i think about colony at the mo, some of their stuff seems scetch, but their completes are probably solid. Premium make very nice completes.

duo- https://www.danscomp.com/101002.php?cat=BIKES -429.99 LBS
from Eastern:
element: https://www.danscomp.com/101557.php?cat=BIKES -449.99 LBS

Fuzzy knows. If you can drop the extra loot and are tall or still growing go with the Duo.
