davey1991 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Sprung, i wouldn't touch a fixed one even if you paid me.Sprung will hold tention majority of the time and may need occasional adjustment but they're pretty much put on and foregt.Fixed have an annoying habit of working their way loose, they dont have a spring to hold them against the chain, so the tension of the chain loosens the tensioner.Waffle over, buy sprung.
