re: just cranking them down.... some frames are aluminum
That's the whole reason I bought the tensioners... to save the aluminum.

I bought the origin8 tensioners from an ebay store. They came 2 to the pack, for about $9 shipped. They actually aren't labled as origin8 (in person, but they are in the auction)... but they work great. They look identical to the picture in every respect, except the white origin8 label. The only issue i had was that they wouldn't allow me to use the forward most 1/4in of my dropouts because of the part of the washer that slides inside the dropout. I simply took a dremel to it to get some more movement. The slide in front of the bolt no longer goes all the way to the edge. I think I took off about 1/2 of it... still plenty to keep it in place. They appear high quality, and I'd buy them again.
buildyourbike is the seller.
