dave33 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 well all that force on ur hub and chain cant be good, as if the chains to tight it will f**k the bearings in the hub, not saying its not good it does look rather good, but just not for trials it would be ace on a jump bike where you dont land on the chain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look OK, I have changed my opinion on all these "no spring" tensioners since I got the Leeson one which works perfectly. As long as the roller is soft enough, and the mounting firm enough, you can get away with no spring. Having said that I've not used the Fresh one so I can't say if that's good or not. But it might be (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 mod has smaller cogs so it sticks out less, and they usally have a bash plate so the chain doesntget touched. iv used loads of tensioner and have made some and i have found ones with out a spring kill chains and hubs.. oh well imo i dont think its any good for trials.

cultiv8ed ::Chris:: Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Fresh Products chain tensioner is the BEST. I have landed one mine so many times its silly and all it does is move up, plus doesn't bend the mech hanger one bit. I also haven't broke any hangers since i got this tensioner where as with mechs they bend just for fun of it. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 ye the fresh one when i had one of the first ones seemed ok. i use a rohloff one and they are deffo one of the best about its just they have a more expensive price tag of £50ish.the rohloff one is directly inline with the hanger instead of sticking out like mechs normally do, very similar to the fresh one.
