Chain Tensioner
Anyone know of a cheap chain tensioner that doesn't require a bashguard?
And has anyone heard of these - https://www.pricepoint.com/detail/168...e-Set-2008.htm
Seems fair enough? Do I need any special zip ties or how does it attach to the fork?
Thanks guys have a good one

Heim 3-Guide does not require a bash guard and is shiftable over all three rings. Ingenious setup that indeed works.
Truvativ makes the Shiftguide that works similarly.
If you are wanting a chainstay-mount tensioner, look for a Kore Chain Reactor or even see if anyone still has an NOS DCD Mr. Crud.

Thanks d. Yes the cables were a separate question.
The heim 3 guide... how does it mount? My frame doesn't have mounting holes like some do down by the crank.
So this little doohicky mounts to like on the bar above your chain where you put your frame protector? And it works with every gear still?

The Heim 3-guide mounts behind the drive-side bottom bracket shell flange, so there is no need for the mounting tabs you mentioned. Because it's stainless steel, it's thin enough to not throw your chainline off because of mountint that way.
