Hi Matthew, thanks for the feedback on the Surly tensioner. Hopefully there
were no accidents resulting from it falling off. I'd hate to see that
happen while under load!

Use some Locktight next time.

Hi David,
I used the Surly chain tensioner and was not terribly impressed with
it -- it's a fairly simple component, so all I really ask is that it
just works. I had lots of little issues with it. The biggest problem
was that the floating pulley bar (for lateral adjustment) kept
loosening up,
The tensioner was skipping because it was maladjusted. When I swung it
all the way up to touch the cog, it was outboard by 5mm or so. I moved
it over to line up properly, and now it works!
Who'd'a thunkit?

I have a Pyramid like Eric's on a bike, and I'm having trouble with it
skipping under load. I think it's a matter of fussing with it. Or
replacing the chain entirely...
I really like Eric's wingnut mod; I'm setting up a 36x14 / 32x18
dingle (waiting on a 4-bolt 32t ring).

IME, the tensioner really has more to do with
For a while I had a Shimano Nexus hub on my AHH and needed a chain
tensioner. I tried the Shimano tensioner and, for some that reason
that I can no longer remember, it did not work and I had to return
it. I think it had something to do with the spacing. I then tried
the Surly with great success
Ditto on the Alfine chain tensioner. I used it in a past life on my
2x8 Fargo (with Alfine 8 speed hub and front derailleur)... Gosh, If I
had only known about the Hammerschmidt!!!
BTW just the other day I rode a freeride bike with a Hammerschmidt
crank... WOW, I've never felt anything shift so
