Jehu at Forum Use in Toronto, Ontario, Canada - photo by recklessness

Homemade SS tensioner. Take a derailleur, remove a few chain links, use a piece of brake cable to tension the rig, and whoa, ghetto chain tensioner!! The chain in this picture has NOT come off since I jimmy-rigged this together. Jehu is now SS and loving it.

It works like a charm. My buddy's chain still has yet to come off.

hey could you recommend a ss dj hardtail for 300-1000? my deraileur hanger broke

recklessness (Jun 26, 2009 at 5:25)

Just get a new hanger?

f0n888 (Jun 26, 2009 at 6:57)

yes i am but i want to get a single speed dirt jumper too because they are tougher and handle abuse better

Rig this up. Works great. No point in buying a new frame.
