  • Im building up an sscx/flatbar monstercross thing with a Dolan CDX frame I got off fleabay. I had initially planned on running an eccentric bb but it has a BB86 bottom bracket so thats not going to be doable. Whats the general consensus on running a chain with a half link vs running a normal chain with a tensioner?

  • You might need both to get chain tension right.

    I’d go with a tensioner, it reduces the amount of faff and, despite horror stories from other people, I never had any issues with running one in a range of conditions, including full on mud.
