r2wtrials Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have a fixed GU (echo) 135mm hub on the rear of my bike and have been using a 74kingz lately... i have only just spotted that Echo do a tensioner for those hubs that fit onto the hub shaft and get their tension with a machined bit that goes into the drop out gap (here on tarty's site) ... neat idea but has anyone here used one?.. Good or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) I have one of the ones integrated with the hub on my bike - It's performed perfectly for well over a year now, still showing no signs of problems. Only thing approaching a snag I've had is that in wet weather the jockey wheel will squeak if the pivot isn't oiled. My one isn't spring loaded though, so you set the tension after fitting the hub.

cai Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 They look good mate, you'll be needing the 12mm one - so the one thats out of stock haha.I'll be getting one for my Echo hub when the 12mm versions are back in stock.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Any chance one of these would fit a pro2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Na mate, Echo hubs have these big spacers in between the hub and frame, this tensioner goes on insted of the spacer..There'd be no room on a ProII (or any other hub that i know of) for this design of tensioner to work properly.
