Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 You may be interested in the new Tensile chain tensioner. Available to buy in about three weeks after a years development and testing. Picture should be up on news section next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baladi Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Tensioner? look what i found. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Tensioner? look what i found. lolNice... I think the 74Kingz is the nicest solution. Simple, very little to go wrong and you don't really have to worry about smashing it on anything like the mech-esque ones likethe Rohloff, Tensile etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Take some links out of the chain! Had a rohloff, was okay, needed washers to space it out for the chain. had loads of chain slap too.74 Kings for the win!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 the tensile one is pimp!i would've said the NC17 stinger, but the rohloff one is nearly identical, and I broke the tensioning spring in my nc17, so get a tensile one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt middler Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 They look a bit gash, but I guess if they work then fair play. Has anyone found any problems with the 74kingz as I plan to get 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Has anyone found any problems with the 74kingz as I plan to get 1.I think you need to be careful not to over stress the springs when you put it on (instuctions are on TartyBikes) and I've heard of a couple of people breaking the springs but that could be related to not putting it together right. Very simple to put right though if anything did happen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Jones Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Ive got a Gusset one, got it from Tarty a long time ago. Onza have since etched their logo onto the same tensioner. Non the less its been great, you have to adjust it sometimes which doesn't bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
