ogre Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) yeah it'll fit but you're wasting your time with a fixed tensioner like that. if you're budget is limited you can get the same one with a different brand on it for a tenner here however this would be much better cause it's sprung you will achieve constant tension whereas the fixed one will always have loose spots cause the sprockets deform and stuff. but really you should have a hunt for a decent dual wheeled tensioner scroll down a bit... cause they give you really nice chain wrap and if you fiddle with them you can get slick chain tension the adjustable ones (not the rolhoff) are better cause you can tune in the chain line and get everything nice and smooth too... or you could make your own tensioner...

Don't get the second tensioner it doesn't work, it doesn't give enough tension and causes the drivetrain to skip, i had it on my bike for like 10 mins and it didn't work i tried tightening the spring and that didn't work either, i just took 2 links out of the chain and now i ride my bike with no tensioner. But take my advice don't buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
