Andrew C Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) Right so basically i just bought a echo 24" of here so i decided i would buy the trialtech sprung tensioner as the tensioner that was on it was abit naff. So anyway when it came to putting it on i noticed that the hub has quick releases on it so this means the hub doesnt take 8mm bolts. This is where the problem lies the trialtech tensioner bolts on to the hub and has an 8mm bolt so my question is, is there anyway to attach the tensioner withought bolting it to the hub.?

Mark W Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 The Trialtech tensioner bolts onto the mech hanger, not the hub. e.g.: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Dunstan Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 That is the tidiest chain tensioner I have ever seen. Hopefully i'll get mine close when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 That is the tidiest chain tensioner I have ever seen. Hopefully i'll get mine close when it arrives. it looks good with the alignment pin cut down(silver rod to get chain alignment),it sticks out heaps far. make did you ever hit it on the 24? with your ankles etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
