super Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Just wandering if it's possible to bodge an SL tensioner (the one's that slide onto the hub) onto a tryall rear hub. Or if anyone has one of these tensioners would they be so kind as to post a couple of pictures and measurements . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'm pretty sure you'll be better off with trying to use a TR tensioner on a TryAll hub. Don't know about the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Yeh not sure i ment SL now. The one thats listed as "echo sprung tensioner" on tarty bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 There's the SL (made for 12mm axles) and the TR (made for 10mm axles) - they're both variations of that product. In related news, I don't think it'd work, even with a lot of bodging. H hubs are pretty wide, so I think it'd be tight. If you compare the two, the drive-side axle spacer on the TR is mahoosive.

super Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Very good point, i'm thinking of making a much narrower centre section that slides onto the axle(i work in an engineering company so shouoldn't be a problem) but still not sure if it can be thin enough and still mount the spring.

Greetings Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 What about a spoke tensioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 That may have to be the solution if this proves to be too much hassle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
