There are cheaper quality chain tensioners than the Paul (Surly SIngleator, for example) but they have one wheel and could not handle your shift. Here's the cheapest 2-pulley tensioner that I know of: http://www.cambriabike.com/Shimano-Shimano-Alfine-SingleSpeed-Tensioners-Black.asp
Is it better than a derailer? I don't know. It doesn't have the sideways play of a derailer and it's lighter (but we all know that weight doesn't matter). jim m wc ca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
