pashley-phil Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'm in need of a chain tensioner for my ashton, I had a dmr tensioner seeker but i hated it from day one. I've tried a tensile single speed tensioner but the top roller hits my rear cog so i was wondering what tensioner would fit my bike? I would prefer a sprung tensioner i think as i believe they are better. cheers phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 What size rear sprocket and which size tensioner (long or short) are you running?Anything larger than a 14T rear sprocket needs a long arm tensioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashley-phil Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'm pretty sure my rear sprocket is 18, Not sure on the tensile tensioner size though the dmr one was standard size i think, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 atomz, tensile or tryall sprung tentioners, with a bit of modification, are all prety good the rohloffs are very good but they lack the adjustment laterally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
