Ross McArthur Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Rockerline should make a Tee or hoodie with "I Love Aaron Browne" on it. I'd buy that for a dollar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think a little rock/curb setup like the beginning of the video, within 5 minutes of either my office or house, would probably keep me entertained enough to actually get my bike out. Oh yea, the riding made me want to do that whole 'going outside with my bike' thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezzay Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 How does he put tension on the chain? I don't see the standard chain tensioner that is mounted on my hex.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 How does he put tension on the chain? I don't see the standard chain tensioner that is mounted on my hex.. My guess is filed dropout to fit 22:16/15 with near to perfect chain length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiaan Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Makes me want to own a hex! very nice! 22/15 on a 26" ? 22/17 would be 384mm chainstay according to the tarty sheet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezzay Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 My guess is filed dropout to fit 22:16/15 with near to perfect chain length? Could be, but how would you keep even tension on the chain throughout it's life? I've had to adjust my tensioner already after fitting a brand new Z610x..

Ross McArthur Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ive heard that that type of chain doesnt stretch more than 2-3mm? Pretty sure that came from Tarty Adam? Could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Luke Cockshott did some jazzy shit to his Hex to run it without a tensioner - seem to remember it involved filing and some weird use of a snail cam in there somehow. I don't think Aaron runs the standard gear ratio on the Hex so I guess it could just be that it works out once the chain's stretched? I dimly remember helping fix his bike at some point and it being possible to just about run without a tensioner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I filed it out and replaced the bolt that holds the mech in place with something to run a snail cam against. Worked perfectly fine, I also did that with a 2013 Foreplay and the latest model Foreplay (which I had to drill and tap for a snail cam bolt on). No tensioner is way better for my riding style but having a tensioner seems to suit a lot of riders also. In my opinion anyone moving to street who didn't have one before is best just opting to continue not to have one. Video wise this is really cool I watched it on my phone the other day quickly and it was worth a second view on my laptop for sure. I think The Black Keys have been used to death a bit within the riding community now though and to end on a high Aaron should be the last person to use them for a couple of years! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
