Dolan Pre Cursa / PreCursa / Track Champion

Just pulling the wheel tight ain't enough.

Yeah, tightening the wheel nuts too will help.

Nah seriously though any chain tensioners experience.

nah, seriously, they're not needed. Get some knurled nuts, such as these http://www.velodromeshop.net/index.php?p=catalog&parent=59&pg=1

or if you must chain tensioner, then the 10mm version of these will be fine

@fixed*star ^this^ So much.

Seriously I am pretty sure if you whip skid regularly you'll need em

Yeah those gusset ones are a faff. Sven use to have some on his old Ribble TT bike.

I ordered some MKS 8mm tensioners for Alu track frames.

Will let you know if they fit and work well. Also Allan key means less faffing

Ammm... really...

Whatever bro. Internet gangster. LOL

I find chain tensioners are needed if DAWS - (I Do A Whip Skid) on a regular to slow down. Haters can hate I don't care. Brakeless is just how I like it.

No I don't want a front brake.
Yes I do like the thrill and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSJoD3YQenE

Fixed*Star - much love

No one gives a shit about whether you skid or whip skid or are brakeless or whatever, you're in no more need of chain tensioners than anyone else. They are not needed.

Chain tensioners are only used to make adjusting the chain tension easy. They are not made to take the force of pedaling or braking. You are not doing the nuts up enough

They are made to also maintain the wheel position no matter how much abuse you throw at it. The bike I used before had integrated chain tensioners. Wheel position Never slipped once in 3 years abuse, accidents etc. love it.

Hope the Dolan gives a similar experience.

Thanks for the advice on the wheel nuts. Those are the exact track ones I currently use from the Velodrome shop.

I'll test out on the Dolan without the MKS that I bought once I get it up and whipping.

Much love.

You are wrong. Notice how even the item you bought is labeled as a "chain adjuster"
Enjoy your whipping

better off spending money on a long 15mm spanner

Pretty sure those MKS ones wont work on a precursa anyway

Got the 15mm and 14mm spanner

I thought it was the 5mm ones that won't work. Hence the 8mm ones were released specifically for larger Alu frames.

The 5mm ones are for steel frames.

The bike I used before had integrated chain tensioners. Wheel position Never slipped once in 3 years abuse, accidents etc. love it.

Was it a different rear wheel too?

And what size bottom bracket to use with a 47t chainring 130 BCD.

I find chain tensioners are needed if DAWS .

CHAIN TUGS, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CHAIN TUGS.

IT TUGS THE CHAIN.

If this man needs no chain tugs please explain how you do.

Because he doesn't whip skid, Get on with the program, god.

what about this guy
