    Depends on if there is enough adjustment left to tighten the chain or if it will need replaceing,,,,if it does then it will prob need new sprockets as well!!

    Im sure if you locate a member close to yourself, who has some knowledge of bikes they will be able to take a look for you!

    It only takes about 5 mins to sort out. A garage will probably charge you for half an hour labour though. If you're unsure how to do this, do you know anyone who is mechanically minded?

    As Carl mentioned, maybe if someone off here is close to you they can have a look.

    Think you would be charged a few extra quid from a garage, but we have a few members that know there way around a bike so im sure we'd be able to help :)

    Where are you located?

    If its just re-adjusting, its a very simple task and one of us will be willing to do it.

    Like carl says, if the chain hasnt been lubed regularlly then it could be FUBAR'd, and then you'll need a new chain and probally sprockets will need doing aswell. This task is a little more tricky.
