Righty, to cure my SS woes....

Anyone run a Singulator and if so does can it tension both ways?

Anyone got one they would want to sell me?

You can indeed. Comes with 2 springs, up and down.

Yep tension both up and down, personally i ran mine to tension up as this wrapped more chain around the rear cog, but I'm sure someone will be along soon to correct me.

Singleator is rubbish. The springs are made of cheese, and you can't get any decent tension on it without breaking the springs. Overpriced tat.

My old SS conversion did run really well with singleator tensioning upwards, i never had anykind of problems with it. Make sure you cut chain as short as possible and do not over tension the spring.

It really is worth the money!
