roozor Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 (edited) Clean bikes sell the kozz tensioners now, was just about to order echo snails from tarty but they are out :) Has anyone got a picture of these koxx tensioners? I reckon they would work on my t-pro as the frame is kinda like a koxx mod, well the drop outs are anyway! thanks Edited February 9, 2005 by roozor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 He means snail cams I think, not bmx type tensioners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomN Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 You want 10mm chain tensioners not 14mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I would have thought any that fit a 10mm axle. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Be easier though if he got 10mm ones fit nicely but yer 14mm still do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roozor Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Yeh, I meant ones to fit a 10mm axle. :) ← I know it's 10mm ;P Just want ones that are gonna fit properly, insted of having to bend slighty to fit on the end of the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 (edited) I have got these tensioners, they fit nicely and work really well for £5.99! Edited February 9, 2005 by Sid@yate_trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roozor Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 The bit that grips round the end of the frame, not the bit that that axle goes through. On my last chain tesioners that bit was struggling to get round the frame as it's quite thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardman Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have the exposure ones they are tasty. But I have had them ground down and the screws bent to fit my dropouts there a bit different you see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 14mm axle chain-tugs probably wouldn't be a good idea simply because a) the end plate, if it's a T-shape, won't fit in, and b) because if they've got the sorta thin bit behind where the axle slots in to help guide it the tug through the axles, it'll be too wide so it won't sit in your drop-outs like the 10mm ones do. Seriously, ANY of the 10mm axle chain tensioners from ANY of the shops listed will work. ANY of them. Just buy whatever set you like the look of most and throw them on. Simple as that. At the moment I've got one like the 4jeri one on the right (nice big thread on that on, takes a 13mm bolt), and an Onza turd one on the left (pissy little 10mm bolt for it though :)). But yeah, any tug from up there should do it. A load of chain tugs used to have huge bits around where the axle went in so you could run a peg, but they're all pretty diddy these days so you should have enough movement from the tug to keep the chain tight.
