Grant H Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) can any wone haip me i was Tampering with my Chain Tensioner and i was wondring if there is a way of running no Tensioneryes if your chain is fully stretched and had a certain gear ratio and certain chainstay lengths.not many people do this though as its hard to do.

Luano Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 if you tighten the bolts it shouldnt move. nobody runs chain tensioners on bmx's and their fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLeacock™ Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 if you tighten the bolts it shouldnt move. nobody runs chain tensioners on bmx's and their fine .BMX doesnt have the same pressure put on the back wheel , backhops drops ect. BMX is all spinny and using two wheels Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luano Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 bmx puts just as much pressure on the wheels.i thought you meant you were riding a 20" so you had horizontal dropouts and them tensioners that hold the wheel in place. if however you ride a 26" stock with the fixed dropouts its not worth trying to get the chain to the right length to not need a tensioner as it just makes getting the wheel out harder as you would most probably need to split the cahin to get it of unless you run it slacker than an amsterdam local worker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
