Spring loaded idler [ tensionizer ]
The idler looks OK, a bit heavy I'm sure, but what troubles me is the concept of
' Any ' type Tensioniser falling into the spokes . I favor the seat post Tensioniser, which can't . Pirate Cycle showed me a built in sprocket idler, which looks very heavy duty, and light weight, as its built into frame. Trouble is, it has no adjustment, or spring bounce. When I built my " Gusseted Idler " I designed it so it can't fall into spokes, should it break. At the time, I had no knowledge of seat post tensionisers, and feared the stock offering.
