loffa Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I've been thinking of getting a Rohloff tensioner to replace my trusty old xtr mech, but I'd like to know wether or not it can handle the occasional hits from sidehops? It looks kind of weak from pics. I'm running a custom 6mm thick steel hanger and an old style XTR mech as a tensioner. And as I sidehop to the right I tend to land on it quite often, but it can take the beating just fine. So I'd like to know if the rohloff could handle it or should I stick with my XTR?And please don't tell me to get a 74kingz, because it's a way overpriced piece of garbage in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
