Questions & Answers (6)

Chain length

By Harv

18 Oct 2023

Is there any guidance with this as to how the chain should be length-wise before you fit the tensioner. Of course it needs to be slack enough to be able to comfortably get the chain off the front ring or the wheel out of the vertical drop out, but should it be any slacker than that, and then just let the tensioner do its job?

SJS Customer Service:

It is recommended to have as much chain wrapped around the sprocket as is possible, too little and the chain will slip. SK 19/10/23

Will this fit a Pashley Parabike with Sturmey Archer Hub Gear?

SJS Customer Service:

Hello, As we are not a Pashley dealer and have had no experience of this bike we cannot guarantee if this will fit or not.

SJS Customer Service:

Hello, Yes you can use this with a 1/8th inch chain.

Can I use this with an alfine hub and a double chain ring. If I can't what would you recommend?

By Toby lant

SJS Customer Service:

We could not recommend that a double chainring is a suitable option with an Alfine hub. We would need to know the two chainring sizes to make any advisory.

Chain Tensioner

By Matthias Bunte

15 Apr 2017

Hi, I would like to know if the chain tensioner fits into the derailleur hanger of the frame or the drop outs? I have a trekking bike, converted to Alfine humb gear and would like to use the derailleur hanger. Also, the SHIMANO Alfine Chain tensioner CT-S500 with 2 pulleys did not fit as even with the spacers, adding up to 5 mm, the tensioner's pulleys did not align to the sprockets. The pulleys were too much towards the wheel. The distance centre of dropout to centre of sprocket is 25 mm. I assume that distance could be achieved with your chain tensioner?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

This threads directly into the derailleur hanger on the frame. This tensioner is highly adjustable so you should be able to achieve the desired chainline with it.

Thanks.
