Just tighten up you're bolt up really tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filo Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 if you sick of distroying the aluminium ones,echo have now made a set of steel ones which are much better. you should check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelation Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) I'm using this Yess chain tensionner you can get it here: http://www.thetrialsinshop.com/drivetrain.html the best tenssioner on the market right now. period there is horizontal and vertical dropout versions, so it can work for both mods and stocks.

Scooter916 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I really like the concept of snail cams, I wish I could use a similar design on my XC singlespeed, I am building my first trials bike and got some ZHI hubs with snail cams, I hope they are notched, the smooth don't seem like they would work as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris4stars Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Could someone please vote me, need 5 validation votes to become full member!! Thanks! heads up for you here just dont as for the tensioner...the rohloff that comes with the inspired seems to be working a treat, even after a good few knocks..but it does come at a bit of a price (not sure whether its one of those things that needs replaced often) Edited December 31, 2009 by chris4stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 heads up for you here just dont as for the tensioner...the rohloff that comes with the inspired seems to be working a treat, even after a good few knocks..but it does come at a bit of a price (not sure whether its one of those things that needs replaced often) my rohloff is a few years old now and its still going strong,scratched up but what do you expect.its had many big knocks and landings,been swapped from bike to bike.i love it and will keep it till it dies.then ill just get the same.
