MikeCottTrials Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 in my experience unsprung chain tensioners are extremely poor if your going to get one make sure you spend a bit more a get one which works the same as a rear mech i think the dmr sts 2 is a sprung tensioner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 get the rohlhof, looks awesome, hard to hit, when you do it is solid and all the parts on it are replaceable. you will never use anything else. trust me on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 i use a rohloff and its the best i've used, its like using a rear mech but its lighter ,stronger ,better looking and nore out of the way you won't regret buying one once you've used it .steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrOcKeR Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Why dont u take some links out of your chain? or just use and old mech off an old bike no need to spend more money and if u brake it, it doesnt matter its old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
