john.p Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 hello im just wondering if anyone else has had the dmr sis tensioner come realy loose like a day after putting it on or after tightening it. im pretty sure im not setting it up right ive even took it to a shop they tightend it and its just came loose. im acchuly scared to ride it for the moment just incase it comes too loose and then the chain falls off(i might just be being stupid). well anyway the main question is is it a good tensioner or just a totaly crap one!from john.p thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Are you using the little black bit that goes over the qr too? Or just bolting it straight to the mech hanger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'm sorry to say this but DMR have never made a good tensioner. My advice for the future if you want something to rely on is a 74 kingz tensioner which can be found on tarty. At £35 it's abit pricey but once you've come to terms with the realisation it cost them 50p to make in a factory its all good because its a quality piece of kit that you can really rely on. Just chuck it on and forget about it.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
