tighting chain on bike?

[Tony Pacc]

I have a Schwinn Airdyne, chain is loose on the side that drives the wheel,dose anybody know how to tighten it ,theirs a adjustment screw ,doesn't seem to do much.TIA

I was going to suggest you check the owner's manual until I checked it on line and found this useless information:

 Adjusting the drive chain or belt tension The drive chain and belt tension on your Airdyne bike have been factory adjusted. They should not require any immediate attention. If they need further adjustment at any point in time, contact your authorized Schwinn dealer.

Clearly they are not interested in helping you keep you Airdyne in good condition without buying their service. Sorry I could not be of any help.

It is an air resistance stationary exercise bike.

Part 59 is a chain tensioner

Looks like easy money. Loosen your axle nuts, tighten your adjusters evenly until your chain has a 3/8" deflection on one side, tighten your axle nuts.

The rear axle fits into a slot on the frame. Loosen the nuts, jamb a hammer handle between the tire and center frame post, tighten the nuts.

No "rear" axel on an exercise bike. :-)
