Guest Big H Posted January 11, 2011 Share Do not know of the DMR tensioner but they are quite big in queen victoria's land. We have a set of MTB tandem wheels built on DMR revolver 36h disk hubs with Sun Ringle Mammoth hoops and they have been performing exceptionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreTrails Posted January 12, 2011 Share I have one, been using it for around 3 years - still on the original roller + bearings... Worth every penny!!! Maybe be cheap to buy but the quality is all there!!! A couple of Mods:Took a Stanley knife to the groove in the roller to widen it a little so that it could take a KMC single speed chain, as the chain is pretty beefy and the roller is probably designed for a 8/9spd chain. Worked a treat and didn't cause any problems.The chromed male/female bolt that holds the roller is longer than the roller is wider - this for chainline adjustment. However after many miles the bearing started to push its way out of the roller (having a wide chain on probably didn't help either...). Not that this caused any problems / damage / wear and tear, but anyways I found some stainless washers and packed them around the roller (keeping the correct chainline in mind) and that worked a treat to ensure no more wandering bearing...kind of looks nifty to if I do say so myself. SO, to cut the long story short - buy the tensioner! I live in Cape town, so if you want to come and take a squizz, give me a shout on the PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
