              I get the fricken snails move and the trick is small torques to get it tightenned.

                To be honest , I have never seen easier tightening and setting chain on rear wheel than on DT's .

                      @vtrn_raptor I didn't say torque wrench. Just be patient with the tightening

                            If the snailadjusters move, just put your foot up against the rear wheel, and keep pressure on it while you tighten the axle.

                            Use a wrench on both sides if its the axle spinning..
