Title: Chain Tensioner Recommendations (for a rider)
Post by: griff on October 16, 2010, 08:31 PM

Back again with another noob question...

I've been looking at chain tensioners/dropout savers and wondered if anyone had a recommendation for one for use on a haro 85 master frame?
Saw a few comments that the savers were more suitable for show bikes (due to slippage) and so looking for something that will be ok to use on a rider, also would be helpful if a longer variety (as there are already a few little scuffs on the dropouts it would be nice ot cover up)

cheers for any help  :daumenhoch:

Just go for the regular old school tensioners like these:
