Hi Guys,

I am converting my altitude to run singlespeed over the winter and I just wanted to know the best chain tensioner available. I have looked at quite a few such as Gusset, DMR, etc but would like to know the best one you guys recommend.

Also is it best going for fixed, or sprung.

Cheers

Tom

Have a look on Superstar also and compare prices before you buy it. Had mine for months and no problems

4jeri and surly last well
Go for a jockey wheel for a quieter life
Go for a roller if you huck.

We have complete kits too. Everything you need. [url= http://http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/complete-one-speed-kits-1-c.asp ]Kinky one speed kitty[/url]

DMR tensioner for me..........but pushing up rather than pushing down

and as CTBM says.......welcome; get ready for the "WHY?" questions from all your mates!
