Cervelo101 Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 HiI am converting my silverback vida 1 29er to a ss. It has a sram x9 crank at the front so I will be using a sram chain. Which chain tensioner would you recommend. I was thinking mabye the shiman alfine s500 or s510. Which one would be more reliable. I also want to change the rear gear now and then depending on where I am going to ride.Not sure if I can usee the shimano either. Please share your reccomendations.
divernick Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Dude, look in the singlespeed/fixie section or search the site. There's plenty of info here on this topic. For what it's worth, Gusset Bachelor tensioner or Fireye Spur both work well. Check on chainreactioncycles.com Edited June 17, 2012 by divernick
Tiny K Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 I don't know too much re SS but seeing that you are in the area, go chat to William at William's Bike shop He is SS crazy - did the epic this year on a SS
