Alex.loves.boys Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 HeyRight, ive been putting of fixing my stock but now i need to.I snapped my mech hanger a few weeks ago..so I had ago at making a tensioner that bolts onto the axel, now tension is dandy and that, BUT when i put pressure on the cranks ie gapping theres a slipping feeling/noise. its very scary and i dont have a clue what it is?its not the tenioner im pretty sure, although im going to whack a big fat roller on there instead of jockey wheel..i can afford to buy a 74kingz tensioner, but ive herd mixed opinons on them, are they actually any good?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 You have a rear cassette? If you have then does the tensioner pull on the axel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GyTrials Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Sounds like there is not enough chain wrap, need to get your chain wrapped around the cassete morei had the same problem and a rolholf tensioner sorted me out nicelyhope this helpsSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 dont go for the 74kingz one al, all the ones ive seen have been pretty shite in my opinion!chainreaction do a slightly cheaper tensioner thats very like the rohloff now, or just make a bigman style one!
