chain problem
hey guys,
i have a fixie for my college commuter and almost every day that i pull it out to ride it, the chain is very loose resulting in me having to spend time on tightening it before i go to class. it's stored inside of a special bike room on the floor of my door so no one has been messing with it. i was just wondering if there was something i could do to prevent this from happening.
thanks

damaged axle threads?
not enough leverage when tightening nuts?

it sounds like the axle is slipping in the drop-out. maybe invest in some new hub nuts? they're cheap.

Your cog is slipping.
Is it a new chain? Super old hub/axle/nuts? More info?

on the floor of my dorm**. and yes i'm batman so you guys have to keep that one a secret. it's a fairly new chain so it might have just stretched a little so ill just keep tightening it and hopefully that works.
