Anyone know who has a black Alfine tensioner in stock, I have looked and found a few listed but they all seem to be out of stock. Alfine stuff seems to be hard to find!

Would a DMR tensioner also fit, they seem to be available look better too - imho.

any tensioner would do. All youre doing is the same as for any singlespeed conversion. (unless if you are doing a dual ring up front)

Cheers Stoner, single ring up front at the moment so the DMR should be fine, ta.

chainline is different on the alfine so you may need a tensioner that will accommodate this. i have sliding dropouts so i have no experience to add i'm afraid.

There are plenty in stock at Madison, ask your LBS to order a CTS500L for you.
