Ben John-Hynes Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 IT would, but fixed tensioners are shit IMO. Get a sprung one like a Mr Control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatty r Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 if i was you i would go for a sprung tensioner i dont trust fixed tensioners and never had a problem with a sprung tensioner also if your gear ratio has a 15 tooth or smaller cog on the rear you should use a tensioner with 2 jocky wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza4life Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Also while i am on the topic of this haha, is this any good V!Z Alloy Sprocket Kit as i am unsure on what single speed kit to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 The V!z speocket is meant for competition use mainly, it's not really up to the task of TGS.

Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm I too late?If you can afford it get a rohloff tesioner there the best. Or any two wheel sprung tensioner will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
