N Roach Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi there, I am about to fit a single speed kit on (mtb 26" wheels), but everyone seems to have tensioners, what will happen if i don't use a tensioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 monkeys will rape you.or your chain will not maintain tension and skip off the rear cog like a motherbitch. some people get lucky, but chains still stretch, fork out £20 and keep your teeth for a while longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
