So I've been thinking about this a lot because I ran in to a related issue...

If the axle nut has been tightened/torqued, doesn't it compress the swingarm assembly at the rear axle thus fixing the position of the chain adjusters? So there won't be any forward/backward movement along the swingarm and the chain should be at the same slack when tightening the axle in place (sans stretching). Am I wrong in thinking this way?
