Easy on budget, but needs wide cranks or high engine mount (e.g., a small frame).
WHY I CHOSE IT:
At $21, it was half the price of the Duluth Cycle tensioner of the same variety.
WOULD I CHOOSE IT AGAIN?
Only if I had a bike with wide cranks, because making it useful required extra machining on multiple bikes.
PROS:
- This tensioner is probably the best value for its style (the kind that bolt on to the clutch lever cover, a "must have" upgrade from the stock type tensioners)
- Good fit to the motor
- Provides a good chainline when installed
NEUTRAL:
- Does not come with a roller wheel / sprocket; this could be a + or - depending on the customer. For me, it was a plus since I had a spare.
CONS:
- Very low angle of travel
- Clearance issues. Unlike more expensive versions, this does not use recessed bolts, so on larger frames, where the motor sits closer to the bottom bracket, most cranks will not clear the lower tensioner/clutch cover mounting bolt head or the bolt assembly for the guide wheel. I have tried this on a couple bikes with both 3-piece and one-piece cranks, to no avail; they all required some grinding / machining of the top of the left crank arm to work. (cut a notch about 5mm wide into the top of the crank arm, to just below where the pedal mounts.
