He just quickly built it out of parts he had lying around. If he had more
time I'm sure he would have done it "correctly".

how about "sponsored by sram" so he probably has a few spare X.0 derailleurs lying around, whereas he might have to "buy" a SS tensioner form someone like surley...

not trying to call you out or anything, but does Surly make dual-suspension single speed tensioners?

Does any company make SS tensioners for dual suspension? I'm pretty sure they dont! it all depends on the chain growth. If there is little chain growth, any tensioner will work..

Actually, there are a variety of options as far as dual suspension single speed tensioner go.

Almost every suspension bike has too much chain growth to even consider running a stationary tensioner.

I was just hoping Surley made a good, spring-action tensioner for dual suspesions, because I know their other products are high quality.
