Hi
I'm currently running my cranks with just a middle and granny chainrings with an e13 bash guard - which is a great config for where I ride
But even with chain shortend and a medium cage rear mech when i'm going down rough stuff the chain slaps around and make a fair bit of noise
But apart from when I'm going down particulary bumpy stuff my bike is nice and silent
I was thinking about getting a Blackspire Stinger Chain Tensioner to stop the chain slap - but can any stinger owners tell me how much noise does the stinger make when the chain is going though it ?
Thanks
Zinger
Not too bad, but the I've got mine on a five so it would be hard to hear above the racket anyway.
got mine on a pitch. pretty quiet, dont really notice it.
a bit.
not enough to notice off-road, noticable if the surface is smooth, some chain rub against the side plate climbing in granny. At worst it sounds like the gears need a slight tweak (perhaps they do)
None that i can here [Lappiere Spicy ] Good luck finding one! Everywhere i tried was out of stock [3 weeks ago ] I ended up getting my nephew in Canada to send one over.
Mine is silent
CRC have them, as do Marshalls in Welwyn if you want to buy from a shop.
Perfectly quiet, until the bearing seizes up. Which will be about 2 rides in.
