I used skateboard wheels as a chain tensioner on trail bikes a long time ago , they were the red ones and they did wear a bit after time , not sure how long the white ones will last but the long lasting tensioners are only about $5.
Cheers Max.
are any of what you are referring to on ebay? I did look and not find. there is not much room between the wheel and frame to put them.
ps broke a bolt getting the head back on after doing the valves. I fixed the Aldis torque wrench, and ordered a digital one to calibrate. I tore the other non working Aldis one (they never lasted more than a couple of years and hardly used) apart in rage with a grinder, then looked for youtube videos. just a bit if grease and calibration was all it takes. you'd think if they cared they would put a grease nipple into the things. I broke the bolt using an ancient torque wrench that worked with a rod parallel to the handle and differential bending, an arc of a guage. waaayyy out of 'calibration'. took around 5 hours , some broken tools and drill bits to get it out. AND I happened to have a suitable bolt lying around to replace it.
this is 'the carpet guy'
and manual calibration (I shall do both). same carpet
