Josh Greenan!!!!!!!!!! Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Now that is good. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir trial a lot Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Just one thing to look out for. On some bikes you may get problems with the chain hitting the chainstay as some bikes have different bends than others. Very good idea and looks like it works really well.

JonCongreve Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Although it lloks like the tensioner is secured down in between the frame dropouts and the axle of the hub....Do not entirely rely on cable ties for tensioning a chain! Even when i used 2 cable ties on a setup kinda like that i got 6 stiches in my mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Smith Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 looks quite nice although i think you are living a little dangerously relying on zip ties.......................would probably work better with some form of spring or just by simply locking it out, like a fresh product type designash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoppellStereo Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 hey guys, im still working on getting the CAD drawings from my other computer.but i really made was an axel that at one end would hold the tensioner, the hub shell im using is from an White Industries ENO Eccentric.thanks for the advice on the zip ties, ill keep that in mind, i just dont really know where to get a custom spring made, inside the tensioner though, i made it so it will accept a sping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nafan Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Why doesn't someone just make a frame with a built-in chain tensioner, because most trials riders nowadays, unless they enter competitions use gears...I can't be arsed to draw up a diagram of what I mean, but you get the idea of a cog coming out of the frame or something...Probably a totally crap idea but it could be adapted...Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 It's called a horizontal dropout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducko Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 same way i mad mine about 3months ago still managed to kill it thou haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsol Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Wasn't the White Industries Eccentric hub designed so you wouldn't need a chain tensioner?! Something about an offset axle?Looks like a great idea though, alot of work must have gone into it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 you could use a cheapo v-brake spring on that couldn't you? - the big leafy ones. was that the idea ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
