    Would really appreciate it if you could take a second to let me know what cranks you are using and how many chainrings you are running on them.
    Thanks in advance, P

    why?

    I’m toying with a prototype chain device and want to test it with different cranks. I’m thinking I will test it on the 3 or 4 most popular and see if I run into any compatibility problems. Have not had any luck finding sales figures for cranks though so thought I would just ask people.
    Thanks for the replies so far – keep them coming!

    I am Packer and I’m doing research for myself. Don’t work for a bike company or anything like that.

    XT with a single 38T ring in the middle position, for my Rohloff.

    SLX with a 46T Gates Centretrack sprocket mounted on the outer position on my SS.

    If you can come up with a BB-mounted spring-loaded chain-device that applies a constant force through its movement I’ll have one.

    Not what I am working on, but have you tried the Yess ETR-B ? I had one and thought it was great.

    Why did you have to file them? Was it because the bashring was too chunky around the chainring bolt area?

    but have you tried the Yess ETR-B

    No, cos it doesn’t do what I’m looking for. I want a tensioner that will take up the slack on a full suspension SS bike, AND applies constant force through its stroke.

    does the Rohloff DH tensioner do that ir_bandito – worked ok with my Giant nrs.

    Is it possible for a tensioner which uses a coiled spring to apply a constant force throughout it’s stroke? I’m not sure it is, and I can’t think of how else a BB mounted tensioner could work.
