Eldron Posted May 29, 2013 Share OK DMR vs On One I already have a spacer kit & sprocket...so buying it again will be overkill.... how do you guys rate the On One chain tensioner? For years I was a dynamic/sprung tensioner fan - eventually they turned out to be just another item that needed maintenance. Now I use the static type: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=94718 Thanks for opening my eyes Iron! Definitely the DMR - someone said Gusset too. Perfect!

Eldron Posted May 29, 2013 Share Good, you did, young Jedi. Real, steel is. I already have a Magic Carpet Ride - the Steel Is Real is just too good a bargain to pass by! Plus I have plans.....internal gears :-) divernick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted May 29, 2013 Share Use cheap 7/8 spd chains, they are strong and durable and last forever. Have yet to break a chain, but carry spare links incase I do. If you decide to do a half link chain or BMX chain as some use, you can get half quick links here https://bmxdirect.ne.../kmc-half-link/ I have done about 1500kms with my e13 chainring and once you get rid of the grime it looks brand new!

divernick Posted May 29, 2013 Share OK, home time. Time for me to ride my steel SS for an hour. What a reward at the end of the day! doppelganger and Audible Anarchy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Anarchy Posted May 29, 2013 Share ive had my DMR tensioner on 3 SS builds now and it works perfectly fine with a cheap n strong 7/8 spd chain and the normal 32T chainrings that come with your crankset of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect!Don't those move around after some miles? Well that's is what I heard anyway Do like the fact that it pushes up instead of pushing down for better wrap Edited May 29, 2013 by rouxtjie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
