fyfey Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I dunno how well they run, but they look damn nice If I was to get a tensioner I think I'd go for one (although I've heard good things about the Tension Seeker). No way would I pay £50 for the Rohloff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am too young to get anything more than a paper round Nobody will employ me becau im not 16 yet lol.Adami have that problem, its a right shit.after seeing daves 74kings tensioner today i can safely say that they are absolute crap, to get any tensoin out of it at all, he had to push it down really hard and the metal leaf spring just bent, it ended up bent at a 90 degree angle and not even tensoining well, he had to resort to nicking a hanger and whacking a mech back on. not very impressed, although this one could just be defective...

Ali C Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 is the arm still bent when he undoes the bolts? its two steel plates right? if so the bolts could be holding one plate differntly from the other and keeping it bent.They seem like the perfect tensioner to me, I am going to make my own from carbon and use a jockey wheel, should be super Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 ill get him to whack a pick up of it, the spring had bent basically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
