In the ongoing search for the optimal design for the current trend in chain tensioners, Lena Garcia of BMX Sarrians, has been testing this AllYoogs ‘Universal Chain Tensioner with Spring’ set up. The cog approach is obviously to reduce friction in the system when compared to the static nylon guide version, but we wounder if the second cog may reintroduce some of that friction? In theory the second cog reduces the likelihood of the chain bouncing off the cog without the need for an overly tightened chain. It will be interesting to see if this system catches on. Why this system is required in a frame that does not have a fixed axel position is another question. Unless you want your rear end and exact length. Either way, its intriguing, and we’ll update this post when we have the full lowdown on the chain tensionser system.
The frame here is also of interest. It’s a prototype for the next GT Speed Series, you’ve probably noticed the likes of Kye Whyte, Oliver Moran and Camille Maire running it for a while now.
