chain misalignment and wear

the cats pajamas · 2014-04-22 14:25:16

I recently noticed a lot of slack in my chain and on closer inspection i have noticed that the wheel adjusters sliders are not in line. I am guessing that this is the reason for the much quicker chain wear, am I right? ps. a mechanic was the last person at this when the back wheel was changed. pics attached of the "sliders"

It looks like the axle bolt wasn't sitting properly behind the slider. The damage on the slider is from the axle being tightened in on it. If it was left like that it might have now "spun" and slipped into its proper place. This would mean the axle bolt is no longer properly tightened. Of course that damage might have been there before this ever happened but it's worth checking before you ride it again...
