maybe you didn't understand my post, why spend $35 plus on a tensioner when you only have to spend $12 on a chain. I under stand the chain is brand new but unless your tensioner is broken why replace the expensive part? its like if you bought a new fork that the steer tube was a few mm to short so you went out and bought a new frame

chains are cheap, tensioners aren't. buy a new chain that will fit.

BB5 pads are both the same, the BB7 pads are a different shape. if you can find a BB7 caliper on the cheap that would eb the best upgrade, larger pads and a much stiffer caliper

but can you lift one by yourself that is 12 feet long?

might be a bit late but looking at the part that bolts to the mech hanger has three threaded holes on it, is there a screw that is supposed to thread in and rest against the stop on your hanger?

+1!! not to mention once a wheel has ben tensioned and ridden even for a short while, it is bad to re-use the spokes, they WILL snap randomly and require a full rebuild down the road. spokes are cheap just replace them while you get a new rim

its a BB7 that I had ceramic coated, the adjuster knobs are rattle canned

its pricey but if you can swing it NOKON is amazing I have it on two single speeds, my road bike, cyclocross bike, and now my trials bike

what lever do you have on the right side? pics?

same screen name, I just git into trials in November and am waiting on the last few parts of my bike to get it finished. I can't wait for OTN come back live, I am looking for people to ride with locally

welcome from another OTN refugee from Nor-Cal I like your atom lab, how well does the hydro gyro work?

I have been running the alligator on my XC bike since September and they work great with a BB7 and nokon housing, better power than any stock avid rotor, but one word of advice, the gold TiNi coated calipers take a awhile to bed in, the coating needs to wear down, the standard stainless are better from the start. I just bought an alligator starlite for the front of my mod, I may run it on my SS to bed it in than transfer it back to my mod

I hope nobody is waiting for me to start the thread, i have only bleed HS33's once and it was 6 years ago, I had to read the manual. there are a few others on the forum that would do a better job, I just wanted to put it out there

maybe a mod should sticky an HS33 bleeding Q&A so there isn't a new thread popping up every three days, maybe include water bleed, royal blood, and any other questions related to HS33's similar to the "really small questions" thread in NMC but just for HS33 and maybe discs too any thoughts???
