SS Chain Tensioners UK

Mark (UK) said:

Hi,

I need to pick up a chain tensioner for the ss i'm
building up. I want a Singulator style device, are there
any other options other than the Surly or the DMT Tension
Seeker? There must be a cheaper option for such a simple
thing... Any idea where I can get one in the UK? Not many
seem to appear on eBay. Hoping to find a good deal before
I try mutilating an old mech, and none of my usual sites
or bike shops stock them. None of you UK lot are selling
one are you...?

Cheers

ok so according to the surly web site it's spelt
'singleator'... sorry!

But £32! Holy [censored]!

I have an old (ish) (few months old) that I could sell you.
Just gone back to gears after fitting my MRP, which means I
could bundle a nice 24/7 single-speed kit (16t sprocket and
cassette spacers) with it.

As it was when fitted.

Rohloff makes one, but I'd guess it's more expensive rather
than cheaper...

yeah i looked at that one, but it seems to put a bit of
extra messing back into the chain route. I like the single
idler design of the others better and went for the dmr
from Matt.

cheers

Judging from some other posts, if that's a Surly I'd
carry a spare.

I'm thinking of it even with the Rohloff that I have because
a previous one broke already...although they seem to have
redesigned the previous one's point of failure.
