TheMunn Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 The easy thing to do is throw it in the bin, these tensioners are utter crap, most are infact, get yourself an old mech and use that, i'm not really a fan on the simple tensioners like the dmr one and the fresh one, they only hold the chain, they don't have a spring to constantly tension the chain which is one of their few downers. However with the fresh you have got more strength in that region of your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
