Matthew_Gibson Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Its made for the Echo hubs, so How you guna fit it to your mech hanger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Its made for the Echo hubs, so How you guna fit it to your mech hanger?What he said.I was at Dan's the other day, you pop off the hub spacer and this replaces it. It doesn't fit hangers (unless you want to engineer some crazy one...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Is that the new one, i have the 07 one and it dont keep the chain tight worth a damn.Do those work better cuz i love the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) I've the one already integrated into the hub and it works really well. To tension the chain I loosen the bolt on the chain side of the hub slightly (So it's still got some tension) and use a socket set handle to lever the tension arm down against the chain until the tension is right. Then tighten the hub bolt and you're done. With this one the pinch bolt will need slackening instead. I don't see why it wouldn't work, and it should be more out of the way and harder to damage than hanger mounted tensioners...

spartan Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 yeah ive got the same one u do but mine keeps coming loose all the time.I have the 07 echo hub without funn bolts, wtf is wrong with mine then?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I tighten the drive side bolt a little more than I'd usually tighten a bolt of that size as the chain was getting loose if the bolt wasn't tightened this far. Make sure there's no grease on the faces of the tensioning arm parallel to the dropout surface. It relies on lots of friction to hold it in place...

eskimo Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I almost bought the 08 135mm hub today. Turns out there is an 08.5 i think Adam called it. I was skeptical at first, but the 08 side of things looks like an improvement to previous really poor years. The 08.5 is suppost to have a grub screw in the tensioner to secure it even further. But as it goes £90 is alot of money for untested parts (still) so i favoured with a Pro2 and am giving the Eno another rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 A grub screw will do a crap job holding the tensioner. Once the tip of the screw has dug a hold for itself in the axle the tip of the screw will aim for that hole every time you try to tighten it. A pinch bolt like that shown in the picture at the start of this thread is a much better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
