clerictgm Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Can't do like that: Spoke too short or what? I use 240mm spoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Looks fine to me, what's the problem? Only thing you might find is that it might skip having such a small sprocket though you seem to have pretty good chain wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I will go out and test it, I think tension is not high enough. I cant do two turns around axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Mine isnt even wound around an axle, It's just wedged it I have it running along side the chain and then bent into a U shape so it sits around the chain without falling off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I really doing something wrong - my tensioner lasts 2 minutes till come off. And before it comes off chain skipps few times. Arrrrrgh.. I want spoke tensioner, it's so cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 - Needs more coils - Needs a better shape where it sits against the chain (the other pic shows it) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Adam, thanks a lot, but how do I get more coils? Do In need a longer spoke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clerictgm Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've killed 7 290mm spokes and it does not work... It's stable. not coming off but not tight enough so chain skips under strong load.http://rghost.ru/42389101.view http://rghost.ru/42389105.view http://rghost.ru/42389152.view http://rghost.ru/42389157.view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 It seems that chain is too long. It doesnt work in any way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
