  • Does it tension by pulling the chain out or in? How much chain wrap do you have around the sprocket? Where does the chain come off? What do you mean "slipping"?

  • The tensioner pulls the chain out and so there's noticeably fewer links about the sprocket - I've lost maybe third of wrappage, I think. Slipping is a sharp 'snap' sound when I stand on the pedals to push off with my mighty nay awesome powers

    I think I'm going to look at setting the tensioner to push the chain in (remove the spring) and fix it in place. And make sure my chainline is straight as. I tend to do things by eye and well... [marty_feldman.gif].

  • New chain on old sprockets can do that until it wears in a bit. Could be chainline - look along the chain from behind - is it straight?

  • I have this tensioner and had the same issue. Sorted by fitting a half link to shorten the chain and get more wrap around the rear sprocket.
