Use a spanner and move your back wheel back till the chain is tight, make sure when you are tightening the nuts back up that your wheel is central.
Start with a spanner, and tighten the bolt that the chain revolves around.
Loosen the lug nuts on the back tire with a wrench, the pull the tire back which tightens the chain. You can tighten the lug nuts again or have someone else do it so you can concentrate on pulling the tire.
you either move the back wheel back by losening it then tightening it once you are satisfied, or you use a chain de linker and take a link out the cahin.
undo the wheel with a socket set and pull it back, or wedge something like a screwdriver between the frame and tyre, make sure the rim is an equal distance between each brake pad then tighten it back up! or go and buy some chain tensioners which will make sure the chain will not come loose!
You need to loosen the nuts on the axle, slide the wheel back and re-tighten the nuts. The wheel needs to be straight and the chain should have 1/2 inch play in the center of it.
