nafan Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I am getting a martyn ashton frame in about a month's time to upgrade from my currnet barracuda subway... I am worried that because of the different chainstay lengths etc. I would no longer run a lucky-tight chain on my single speed set up... What mech would you advice me to get I'm going for ebay 'cos I'm tight :) :P I thought maybe a 105 or tiagra PS: I DO NOT want a chain tensioner because they are too expensive and I've already knackered one!!! :angry: Cheers lads :( :( :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariojoshi Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Using a mech is perfect - 105 if you are that worried about weight.... but to be honest, the best way to use a mech as a tensioner is to hack a fair bit of it off anyway (ie the un-needed bits such as one jockey wheel and one of the springs and some of the cage,) so it makes little diff. My tiagra hasnt dropped the chain yet, and ive bent the hanger out about 90degree a couple of times! :) Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
