Trials Boy Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I ordered a Surly tensioner from BikeDock on Monday and it should be here today, but they rang me and said there out of stock and are very sorry. They said that i could have THIS one for tomorrow but i am not sure, would it be worth it? Help ASAP as i need to ring them back please. Thanks :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 looks prettyy much the same as my surly, but with the jockey guides, if you are desperate go for it, i cant imagine it can be any worse than the one ur gettin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 The Surley has the jockey guides which help keep the chain on the cog. The one they're offering doesn't look like it does. But it cant be worse than a surley, The spring in mine died after a week, as did two of my friends that also bought them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 alot of people i know take the guides off, and they are easy to make anyway...... spring wise, i replaced the shitty surley spring with a old v brake spring out of a cheap v, its stiffer and its better, my chain has come off once, and i wasnt riding my bike.........sorted :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Cook Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hummm. I got one opf them from my local bike shop and its exacly the same as the one at bikedock. I am on my second on in about 1 - 2months becuase the pin thing that goes behind the mech hanger poped out and something else came out with it. I am on my second one now and it has lasted me about a month and it seems to be fine at the minuite apart from that where the chain goes round on it the part what is under it what keeps the chain on its bent somehow. I say wait and dget a surly one or get it if you are desprate Otherwise dont next time i am going to get a fresh products one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snatch Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 If they messed you about tell them you want the DMR tension seeker - I've never had any trouble with mine. They've taken your money without checking its in stock? And didn't inform you? Then I'd tell them you want the DMR - the 4-jeri stuff isn't as good as the surly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 For future reference, BikeDock are shit and should only be used as a VERY last resort (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 The 4-Jeri is the same as the Surly one, but without the small chain cage. We stopped selling them due to a few complaints from customers about their poor performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on there site loads of stuff says it it in stock but it is really out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
