New chain tensioner (big pictures)

[THE MANGLER]

I could not get a chain tensioner to do all of the things I wanted it to (tension my chain and allow the use of a BMX chain) so, my buddy Larry Greene made this for me out of a Rohloff tensioner and an MRP wheel. It works great.

Thats my girl's bike.
I was not having good luck with my Echo stuff so, I sold it and went back to what I know. Also, the 18/ 22 gearing suites me a bit better.

nice cranks, but whatever u saved on your brakes weight wise, u killed it with the cranks....So what's the point....?

[guumer]

the brakes have better feel.

I was not, in any way, trying to save weight. I was trying to build a reliable bike that I enjoyed riding. So, blow me!:bigthumb:

Once I tried to save weight, so I took a dump! Then I ran over a cat and the carcass got stuck in the wheel and pretty much negated the weight savings! :luke: (it was a pretty big cat)

Your ride looks good Chuck!

Nice Profile 22t sprocket.....that bike shines*
Matt from profile sent it to about two months ago. Its a Wake, not a Nano. It was the first one off the line. I don't know if you can order them yet in 22t. It works great!

Wait until you guys see what John (Solomon Grundy) made for me. Its the finishing piece to my dream bike.
