i am running 16-13 on my inspired with the cheap 4jeri l tensioner ( http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/sprung_tensioners/4jeri_tensioner/c48p10179.html ) that just pushing the chain down for the tension but it is skipping, i have the right chain for the sprockets but when i put pressure over two pedal strokes the chain rides up the teeth at the back and then slips back on will the tensile chain tensioner fix this? this one ( http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/sprung_tensioners/tensile_single_speed/c48p10421.html )

am i right in thinking if i drop my gearing from 20-16 to 16-12 on my 24" it will feel the same, i was thinking of going 16-13 as it feels a tad heavy atm do you think that will be too light?, i am running 170mm cranks
So am I right in thinking that I have to cut or file the piece off where the red line is, if someone can post a picture up of one that has been cut off or filled away that would be great so I can see what it should look like.

The hex just seemed to sit ontop of my head and did not feel as comfortable as the flux, which as soon as I put the flux on my head it was love at first site and feel,
I have just put the trialtech 4 bolt on the back end of my fourplay and it has stiffened it uip really well and now the brake feels much better, so that would be the one I recomend, I am running tnn lgm pads with a 4 finger lever bled on phat phluid and it feels great, not sure what to use on a smooth rim as I always have a grind.
I thought the hex looked bulkier, the flux is a tad heavier but I do prefer it, the hex just did not sit right on my head either, must have a weird shaped head , the terra was just awful feeling, so I think I made a good choice.
AJ
So after driving rather far to try on all the helmets I decided on getting the flux as it was most comfortable and looked the nicest, I rang up evans cycles the day before and they said they had every colour in every size in stock , theuy lied they only had the one on display, at least I tried them all on and now know what size I am, will be ordering one in whatever colour I decide now from elsewhwere.
Cheers for the opinions and help guys
Aj
well i really like the look of the flux but that is only pics i've seen on the tinterweb, the only shop near me has the met terra in so i can't really try any other as my local halfords never has any in either. so was looking for other peopes views before i venture out to a shop further away to try and buy
AJ
I understand that they might all fit different but I was just after peoples opinions as to what most people use and wear and like the look of,
Cheers

My choices are between these 3 helmets, fox flux, met terra and giro hex. i am swaying toward the Fox Flux but i thought i would get some other people opinions, money is no object so that does not have to be a factor in this.

yeah i love the way it rides and i'm quite lanky so need a bit more height at the front and this was the easiest way so i just decided to keep it how it is
AJ
i love the height with the stem stackers, also ment i did not have to cut the forks down which was a bonus, rides really nice so think i will keep it this way
