Ben John-Hynes Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 mechanical derailler = either word. derailler or 'mech' How the HELL are you people spelling derailleur. Yes, a mech does keep the chain tight when run with gears, that's why some people use them as tensioners, 'cause they're good tensioners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Fel Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 A mech or what ever changes gear. A tensioner only tensions the chain and dosen't/can't change gear. Thats the way I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 So just to clear a few things up...A mech is NOT a mech hanger, correct? A mech IS a derailleur, correct?A mech is the mechanical bit. The hanger is called a hanger or mech hanger. So you are right!Mech = mechanical = mechanisms working together = moving parts. If something doesn't move it can't be a mechanism.
