James_Porter Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 the q/r / funbolt go through the top part of the fresh one and then the bit where you can adjust the tension goes through the bit that yo usually thread the mech what ever in. so it makes it stupidly steady and near impossible to break. i used to break hangers by hitting them slightly and having to bend them back, and after a few times it made the hanger weak and just snapped. but the frsh tensioner has completely stopped that, if you go through mech hangers like a basterd ginger i recommend getting one.

Luke Drewery Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 £28 i will get a pic of mine on me bike tomorrow for you all to see as i havent got a bike for you to see it on at the moment (Y) ← A pic would be nice, is your bike in for a service or something? Anyway, cheers for all the advice guys, i just thought that noticable weight would be saved from losing my mech (fairly heavy, sora road) and shortening my chain to make up for it too. I wont bother then if its going to mean less safety and reliability. Ill just go for a tensioner. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich4130 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Wouldnt take out the skewer, its bolted down hard, more chance of breaking them just by hitting them I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
