kid creole Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Ok den, Has any one got a good tensionair that they think I should buy? Im a bit gutted that freshproducts have gone missin...adamthe best thing to use is a old mech they are more reliable and keep the same tension all the time , but if you want something more compact and lighter the only tensioner i would us is the rohloff it has the same kind of spring tension as a mech.[attachmentid=8175] Edited November 15, 2006 by Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 You just might need to do some overtime to be able to afford it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Judging from all my friends experience's the most reliable and strongest tensioner widely availibe is the Gusset Batchelor, There compatible with quick release or bolted (hope) hubs, dont require any cocking around to get the chain line correct and only cost £12, And there the simplest design I've seen yet for a fixed tensioner.But if you can afford the rohloff then get one, you won't regret it.

roly Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Splash out on the rohloff, you'll never regret it. Stick it on and never think about it again, and it looks wicked. IMO they are a bargain because I had a nightmare untill I got one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseytrial Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 The rolloff one looks quality but 50 quid is a rip. Any 1 remember the trials chain they made. They where good but also expensive.I think the gussett one is for me Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy d Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I haven't used a fixed tensioner so I can't compare, but if you wanted a (cheaper) sprung tensioner, try a Surly Singleator? Mine lasted about a year and a half, included being landed on several times, and outlived a few mech hangers. Eventually I had to change the spring, now its fine again. About £30.

' Mart ' Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 ive run a surly singlator, was impressive and worked well, as said above took quite a beating before it died, then i had spare cash and bought myself a rohloff, best investment ever, line'd it up screw'd it on and havnt touched it yet, altho running a fat chain, it ahs to be slightly modified, but mine run's sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
