Setting Up A Double Wheel Tensioner

[TrialsMan Dan]

Reet guys just recently got a FireEye Spur double wheel tensioner, ive got it fitted and runs smooth the trouble is while there is an okay amount of tension in the chain i just think it could be improved to lower the chain a bit so reducing the risk of hitting the chainstay. Im not too familliar with double wheel tensioners with their crazy amount of screws and springs to play about with (okay that may be an exaggeration ) im normally used to single wheel sprung versions which are simpler but ive never really got on with them.

Here's a pic of how its currently set up:

And here is how id like it to sit for better chain tension:

Please laugh if this is quite a noob thing to ask lol :$ but any help appreciated!!

NO! you want the tentioner to sit as high up as possible to maximise chain wrap on the sprocket, to reduce chain slap increase the tention on the spring...

to reduce chain slap increase the tention on the spring...

Which spring is this? Theres one on the cage and one on the mounting bolt.

the one that makes the last jockey wheel push down, if you release the bolt that lets to slide the cage left and right and then rotatate the cage more with no chain tension (detach the whole thing from the mech hanger) pinch up the bolt and then clamp it back on...

Okay cool, and whats affects the bit where the spring sits into (funny round shaped thing) that has a 2mm pinch bolt on it too does it affect the tension much if that is rotated? God i sound like such a noob :$

[ogre]

have a play with it, the bit you suggested might be what you want, i've only usesd rohloffs and the try-all/tensile style ones, no experience with this one.

Its basically the same just with a different arm and the bit for adjusting the chain line is hex shaped instead of being round

slide it out and turn it 60 degrees?
