am4zin Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 What chain tensioner are you using at the moment by the way? I think Onza had something that protected your mech hanger from bending etc. but that kind of defeats the purpose of a mech hanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KEV ROSS Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) Hi, Definitely get yourself a Onza Mech Saver its such a good little gadget. I side hop to my mech side too, I was going through about 2 mech hanger a month before I got a Onza Mech Saver.I have had the gadget for about 4 months now and not snapped 1 hanger.

Ben Geary Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Just get a Fresh Products tensioner, me mate has one and he has landed on the tensioner quite a bit now and it's been sound as a pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Onza had something that protected your mech hanger from bending etc. but that kind of defeats the purpose of a mech hanger.Not realy, the hanger will/does break when you realy smash into it (which would be when you want it to snap...) but it jst stops the little things from killing it (when you don't want it to break) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
