jandamna Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Some of the tarty bike's ones look quite good, do you ride mod or stock?What ever you do dont buy the origonal dmr chain tensioner, the bolts on it have rounded off, just the first time i put them on! i havent over tightened them, this has happened to 3 of my other mates who also bought it!so just some advice dont buy the orig dmr chain tensioner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned1 Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 i ride stock. I am running a king with fun bolts so it seems i am limited to what tensioners i can run due to the large bolts.so i basically need a tensioner i can bolt to my mech hanger.thankschris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 The 74Kingz has great reviews, and it's pretty straightforward to build something similar yourself if you don't want to splash out.Better than hanger mounted tensioners in the way that you can land on it without causing any problems such as snapped hangers, and nice and easy to set up too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsyJoel93 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Look in the FS/WTD section, im sure someone will have one that they are trying to get rid of, or see how they work and do a DIY ! lol pretty simple to make really Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanC Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Or just make one. This cost me less than $3 USD to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Walker Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 what did you use to make that, and also how ? explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanC Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 what did you use to make that, and also how ? explain.You just need a peice of steel that is springy. Then you need a plastic piece to act as a chain guide.I made the guide from a block of plastic with a dremel tool. Connect the metal to the guide and you got a chain tensioner. The zip ties hold the tensioner to the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
