Ben John-Hynes Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 IT would, but fixed tensioners are shit IMO. Get a sprung one like a Mr Control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatty r Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 if i was you i would go for a sprung tensioner i dont trust fixed tensioners and never had a problem with a sprung tensioner also if your gear ratio has a 15 tooth or smaller cog on the rear you should use a tensioner with 2 jocky wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza4life Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Also while i am on the topic of this haha, is this any good V!Z Alloy Sprocket Kit as i am unsure on what single speed kit to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 The V!z speocket is meant for competition use mainly, it's not really up to the task of TGS. See, If you were to improve your punctuation you would be validated in no time.Maybe he doesn't actually care about being validated, maybe he just want his question to be answered without twats like you replying with useless answers.

Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm I too late?If you can afford it get a rohloff tesioner there the best. Or any two wheel sprung tensioner will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
