Yeah, so i was in need of a tensioner that didnt require use of a hanger.

I just started to learn sidehoping to the side away from my good foot(the right way), anyways thats the side my hanger is on and we all know what that means..

This is what I came up with from bits laying around my shed. It was inspired by a great thread on the UK forum.

The roller is from my shitty rennen and the spring is composed of two piecees of metal. They are from a tool that allows you to measure the gap in spark plugs?(I forget the actual name for the tool??).

In the end I rhode on it for several hours and it works just perfect, probably the best tension I ever had :wiggle:
