SEALED everything for that matter.

Woohooo couple more hours and I get to see it.

I didn't want to spend 60+ on it.. cuz I'd be smashing the $h1T out of it while learning trials.
The original spring and hex bolt were a POS.
Burly is the manufacturer.. not so burly from what i found.
I am sure the surly singlator is much better quality then the one i have.
In my experience, don't use a tensioner if you can find the magic ratio.
