Carlperkins Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 the 24" echo lite frame comes with 2 integrated chain tensioner's. they're pretty much 2 long grub screws with a 2.5mm allen key spot on the end. they always wobble loose and i have to tighten them up every day before i ride, but recently forgot and i've lost one now. anyone know where i can get them? cant find 'em on tartybikes.

craigjames Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Pretty sure any M4 allen bolt will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Are you sure they are not just M5 bolts? Worth a shot trying a few different sizes before you buy anything dedicated! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Shame to hear that you've had that problem! From the looks of someone's I saw a couple weeks back it seems like just a regular grubscrew you can get from any good fastener stockist just to backup the above suggestions! When fitting the replacement(s) maybe blue loctite could help a bit to stop them from coming loose too quickly. I think the worst case scenario is if this issue kept arising and the dropout threads got worn out or stripped a bit. Hope it gets sorted soon!

Revolver Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Length isn't a problem, you can always cut it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as the one you've still got in your bike Think it's M5 from memory, but your best bet is to take the other one down so they can simply match it.
