Adam_McGuire Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I have a 2013 (i think) Onza Comp, I'm having a bit of a problem with the chain tensioners, they are small nuts with bolts going through them, the frame makes it really tight to tighten and i'm my case impossible. I was wondering whether there is a specific tool that I should use or whether I could use rear chain tensioners like the Gusset Kojak instead and just forget about the other ones. Favouring the second idea right now, but wanted to see if anyone had a solution or advice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 That's a bodge, bare with me and I'll try to find a link to the proper bolt you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Actually looking again I'm not sure what's going on with your setup? The idea is the bolt I linked to screws through the dropout, I can't understand why the one on yours has a nut on the end though unless it's welded to the bolt in the frame?

I think at somepoint the tensioners had a little cup on them. @Adam_McGuire i think you need to loosen the nut a bit, and then undo the grub screw using an allen key. i don't think the nuts are needed.

The bolts you linked aren't the right ones as there's no need for the nut though that's not to say they won't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 You need a ball end Allen key and a 10mm spanner that's quite a low profile. It's easy enough to do, do drive side first then centre the wheel up using the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
