-ANT-ONZA- Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hey everyone, recently have been having a lot of problems with chain tensioners. Was out on a ride and as I went to back wheel some crates the chain side tensioner snapped so in a panic I spent 20 quid on new DMR ones. Then within a week or two I pulled the front wheel up then with a huge CRACK the chain side tensioner snapped?!?! Anyone else having this problem? What else can I ride instead of tensioners?

Heatsink Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 If you could post some photos of how they broke then that would help others understand the problem better Hey everyone, recently have been having a lot of problems with chain tensioners.

Ghetto Rider Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 The 74KinZ tensioner's are pretty good! - they go onto the hub mounts at the back and very rearly get hit by anything... Take a while to set-up but when they done properly they do the job! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
