Single Speed Tensioners
March 26th, 2008 by ArleighI have a confession - I’m a single speed freak. Ever since I can recall I’ve had a single speed mountain bike or fixed gear road machine.
With Guitar Ted’s (and your) help we will be putting various single speed tensioners on review. Going forward we will dedicate a post per tensioner. What we think, how it set up and so forth. I look forward to hearing everyones feed back as we go through each tensioner we have used.
Tensioners are a good way to get by with your everyday frame. I’ve seen tensioners used to make a 3×1 but with the 3 being the front chainrings. There are ways to set them up properly but normally it is trial and error. Some of my favorite single speeds have been via a tensioner of some sort. Personally I have ridden a decent amount of single speed tensioners. Have had to set up more than I would like to share and can say which have lasted, which hit the bed too soon and which are simply annoying to deal with.
Feel free to share photos and stories.
