  • I have yet to read a good experience with chain tensioner and CX, someone surprise me :]

  • But do you have read any bad one's? I mean it works just like a rear mech..

  • No it doesn't

  • No it cetainly does not. A rear mech has two springs and sprockets to tension and keep the chain in place. The one pictured above only have one spring and guidewheel. On rough roads it will skip eventually.

    There does exist double spring and pulleywheel tensioners but whole idea of a simplistic singlespeed goes away slightly. Chainstay mounted tensioners that fixes the chain tension is a better solution in my mind, but can compromise transmission efficiency as a whole.
    This is what I'm talking about. http://sheldonbrown.com/images/single-conv.gif

  • ah okay, thx.

  • Or this one attaches to your BB.

  • LOVE this. Skinny stays & fork are just ace.

  • Extremely skinny forks. Where can I get them?

  • Pity it missing the shim inside the levers' body which make it look weird.

  • it seems like all people have these cool camo saddle bags in their cx rigs. What's in those? co2?

  • i have an inner, tyre levers and hex keys in mine

  • Used to carry two tubes & tools as below, but it burst open a couple of times so now it's just one tube, tools, proper tyre levers, spare chain links & quick-links.

  • I have chain tool, small multi tool, puncture kit and a spare tube in mine.

  • but no minipump or co2?


  • Would.

    They are nice, aren't they? Might need to have a chat with Spot's UK importer.

  • but no minipump or co2?

    You could carry CO2 in there and I have once before. My pump is an old too-long-for-a-jersey-pocket Topeak, held in a clip by one of the bottle cages.
    I also carry the Lezyne boot/patch kit in there too now.

    It's awesome, but if you don't do it up properly, you'll lose all your content in one go.

    spoke keys, tyre lever, allen key set w/ chainbreaker and puncture repair kits.

  • who makes them?

  • There are plenty on Etsy.

  • oh that's convenient, they are made in copenhagen. Just when I happen to be here.

    ordered sscx from orlowski few weeks ago btw.

  • sounds great. more details about the frame? current projects thread?

  • but no minipump or co2?

    That goes in jersey pocket; although I tried putting it in the tool roll and wrap around it, it stays there but keeps annoying noise banging against seat post.

    Haven't seen you around! :]
