NOTE: My rivet gun had too large of a head to reach down into the guide. Unfortunately this let the head of the rivet float too far up in the guide to where it would rub the chain.

Position the guide to where it runs straight with the chain. When you tighten it you want the chain to stay in the slots of the guide. Once you have it positioned correctly you should then tighten the nuts of the adjuster.
\Now you can enjoy trouble-free tight chains for years to come

I have to say here that I'm NOT SURE if this will work with ALL Conquests. I have noted that some ...
