rocks370 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Hello all,I was wondering about the Pro's and Con's to running single speed without a chain tensioner.i have a 18t chainring on the back and a 20t chainring on the frount, the chain fits perfectly and on the loose spot the chin moves about 2/3cm up (see pics below)[attachmentid=7039][attachmentid=7040][attachmentid=7041] Rocks370 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 y not just run a tensioner its fairly simple.you will find the chain will stretch soon and become even looser. = a problem and a f**ked hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 It's just another thing at the back of your mind to worry you when you're about to do something big...Get a tensioner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Not worth the hassle really. Especially if you've got one allready.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Fried Rice Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 one of my friends has this done on his vinco, hes had it for long time and hasnt had a problem with it at all.he used a tensioner to begin with so it stretches and then take a link out or a few in a few weeks time then run it without a tensioner. not a problem in my eyes.JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
