Questions & Answers

What is the size of the axle this fits?

Drop outs for the axles are 10mm wide. Well worth the money!

Have any of you used them with Phil Wood hubs? Have you experienced any issues with fitment using bolts instead of ?

Previously, I have used these with Shimano Dura Ace hubs, and they fit perfectly, but with my DT Swiss T1800 hub, the bolt hole on the tensioner had to be drilled a bit larger. It doesn't seem to be the case that all axles are the same size.

It is worth paying the extra money since it truly is the best
5/5

Follow these tips The round portion of the track drops that goes over the axle should be on the INSIDE. Some tensioners focus on the outside, but not me The reason it's so thin is that To order 5mm for a typical steel frame, you will need this size (5mm) If you own an aluminum frame, you should look into the CA-150 Optical sensors such as the MX10 (8mm) and the CA-150 The MX14 axle is 14mm x 8mm (8mm x 14mm). As an added bonus, these tensioners use ONLY a 3mm Allen wrench, so you don't have to carry an additional box wrench on rides if you are carrying a multi tool, then you will have no need to carry a box wrench. Get the chain tensioned just right and straighten the wheel with a 3mm wrench, then tighten the axle, then snug down the tensioner just a little I use these to cover the ends of a 130mm road hub with a bolt-on skewer. They fit perfectly over the hub ends.

A tensioner that converts ABS to a single speed is the best in this category
5/5

Best thing about this one (and I convert it to a street As side income, I operate one speed) beats them all because a) the spring is located ON the arm, not outside it. This external spring always pops off and you will never find it during a ride. B) There is only one bolt and it is a bolt rather than a screw (used by 95% of the other tensioners in this category) and the bolt is a typical wrench bolt. Your header probably also contains the same information. There will never be a loss of vibration on these. Take a listen In order to install it, you install it DIRECTLY to the skewer- You just need to remove and replace the knob part. There are some instructions that might be a little confusing, but follow them to the letter if you have trouble.

I would recommend this to everyone
5/5

Chain tensioners from MKS are an example of the most respected names when it comes to steel things rotating around other steel things. It was sanitary to my mechanic, which is the highest aesthetic praise one can get. They are easy to install, and they are very easy to adjust. They should last for approximately a lifetime, unless you are constantly fiddling with them. You would want these in your dropouts if you insist everything on your bike be "bombproof. " In other words, these keep your wheels from sliding out.

Fits Surly frames but not other brands
4/5

All bikes cannot be fitted with these. With a cutout on one side, the adjustable side can be adjusted In order to prevent slipping, the dropout must fit into the barrel. I don't think all frames can fit this. It is a great design, but it is not wide enough. There's no telling what the proper gauge of metal would be, but I have a Surly 1x1 and this is not going to work with it.

Fits only dropouts of 5mm width
4/5

I am very pleased with the product. It just so happened that I have a Cinelli Mash Work and the drop outs were just too large. There must not be more than 5mm of cap on the back of the drop outs. Despite not being to blame for the product, I will give it four stars since I cannot state how well these products My first impression is that they seem very solidly built, and if they fit, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

I like the way they look
5/5

There was no need for Those were the ones I wanted. I like the way they look. It's nice to align the wheel square and have a nice tension on the chain when I use them. I'm using them for some time now. They look cool even without the lights.

Parts that fit the job perfectly An extra fee is well worth it
5/5

Those are the chain tensioners I use most often. These are exactly what I need for my single speed bikes that I have been building for years. It is worth the extra money to have high-quality boots that are built to last. Be patient in They are a bit tricky, but will hold the chain in place and keep it snug.

I like it
5/5

Their aesthetic appeal is pleasing, and they also function The Mercier Kilo TT is equipped with the installation. I thought they looked less clunky than the other options, so I was willing to pay more for them.
