Blake Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 ordered a kmcz510HX, but have realised it's too wide to be ran with my trialtech sport tensioner, but tarty say that it's possible fi you add another two washers. I have some spare rear mechs kicking about from old shitty bikes and wondered if the washers off of one of these would work?

Rockman Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Derailleurs don't have spacers, they have bushing sort of things, if you just get a couple of small washers the same inner diameter of the bolt it should be okay..

(if that makes sense) They mean put spacers/washers either side of the wheels so that the chain doesn't rub the plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I just got a trialtech tensioner, a nice high quality tensioner, i'd rather not use a spoke when I have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoNnY__Mc Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have spaced out mechs and tensioners loads of times in the past to allow for a bigger chain. If you have 4 of the same size washers you should place them either side of the 2 jockey wheels and run a longer bolt through each. I have used the inner spacer that sits between links from an old chain loads of times. There are loads of ways of going about it. The only other possibility is to change to lower thickness chain.

Luke Rainbird Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Or it could put you in severe debt? People make mistakes, they get spotted and sorted out and the world keeps turning. Do you spend your every living moment in fear of the slightest thing going wrong? Perhaps that sandwich you bought has slightly less than the advertised mayonnaise? Probably not, because clearly you must be some kind of perfect human that's never cocked anything up... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Any M5 washers will do the job. Might need longer bolts too. Or it might run without any washers, which I have seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Nothing to do with being cute, you just seem to be acting like a pedantic pessimist rather than living in the real world.
