I gave up on the riser bar idea and decided to just get used to the flat bar instead. Unfortunately, the chain tensioner was causing problems (jumping off under load) as it wasn't allowing enough chain to wrap around the rear cog. So I bought a DMR STS tensioner to replace it. It doesn't...

Yes, the 10 quid one. I'm using my 32 tooth middle ring, so I bought the 16t cog to get the 2:1 ratio that most people seem to recommend

It is a bit ugly, but it does the job! I bought the cog/spacer kit from Superstar components and it seems fine

DMR STS £18 with free delivery (roller version) http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/produc ... x?&id=6890 This is the one I bought after sending the Superstar one back and it works perfectly :D

The Superstar version will not go as tight as yours unfortunately

The DMR STS tensioner doesn't look as nice as the Superstar one, so I didn't really want to swap mine either. But the DMR works and the Superstar didn't (for me anyway)

It's the tensioner. I had the same problem with mine. I swapped it for a DMR one that pushes the chain up rather than down and now it's perfect :D

Looks really good mate 8)

I've decided to return the sprung chain tensioner I bought as it's leaving the chain too slack and causing a loud clunk! (loads of people on the net have found the same problem with this type of tensioner) I've just ordered this to replace it http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/produc ... x?&id=6890

Thanks. I've actually just ordered a DMR tensioner (the fixed type that pushes up). I'm going to send this piece of **** back! :evil:

There's a clunk/crack when I put a lot of force on the pedals. Do you think it's because the chain is too slack (it's as tight as I can get it without getting hold of a half link) :?

So I tried to fit a riser bar today as I have read it is possible to prise the stem open enough to fit one in. This is as far as I got (that's a 10mm allen key) before I realised it wasn't going to happen. I think the accounts of people doing this have steel stems, not alloy like mine...

The Spank ones with the gold collars look awesome!

Cheers! I'm really pleased with how it looks

That's what I was thinking. And thanks for the complement! :D

Thanks for your input guys. I haven't seen them yet, but I reckon I'll probably buy them based on what you've all said (even if I don't end up putting them on this bike) :D

Why thank you sir :wink:

Oops! I didn't realise you'd linked to them. Thanks for the complement though :D

I very recently bought this Cinder Cone and converted it to single speed. I thought I'd pretty much got it completed, but my neighbour has offered me some magura hydraulic rim brakes (the yellow ones) for 30 quid! What does anyone think? Worth it? :?
