DrEvil270183 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I was looking at getting the Freshproducts single speed tensioner, my mate Mike suggested i try out his Reenon tensioner which is the same design but without the holes. when i tried to fit it, it doesnt create enough tension, it cant be lowered enough and my chain is already as short as it can be. i was wondering if the fresh products will be the same, it looks like it will be. i run 22-18 with a kmc chain, does anyone know iwhat the tensioners are like and if they have restrictions?

Sam Nichols Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Somebody used to have a statement in their signature... "Tensioners Need Springs" or something similar Personally i find a mech works fine or get your self a gusset/dmr one :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich4130 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Erm, try changing the gear ratio abit, 1t bigger cog etc, so the chain is tighter.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialskid Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 And how do you work that one out... my mech has been going strong for over a year now :angry: ← side hopping to the right, side hopping to rails, falling off and the bike going down and hitting the mech. :blink:" you dont even know Mr watson :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwog Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I sidehop to the right, and I am the sidehop man at the moment, and I barely scrap mech's, just have to buy a new hanger every month..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 side hopping to the right, side hopping to rails, falling off and the bike going down and hitting the mech. :turned:" you dont even know Mr watson :) ← Yeah I knew that... but that could happen to one of they wee tensioner things too...hehehe :D I would just use a mech... they seem more solid IMO... i've landed on mines loads of times, just bend it back into place :) Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
