Great product. Super easy to install and adjust to different chain rings / chain lengths. My Argon bike doesn’t have built in tensioners, and I was having very annoying issues with my wheels slipping with the Argon drop outs and washers. No issues now with my new Velobike drop outs and the Velobike chain tensioner!
Le seul tendeur de chaîne qui reste en place quand on chance de braquet ! C’est parfait !
Solid construction and easy to adjust tension. They're on all my rear wheels to ensure safety and keep the watts flowing hard and efficiently.
Held for starts and really heavy efforts on a tandem! I like that it has the top and bottom bolts for tensioning. Good on out of shape drop outs.
Beautiful machinery. Slim and functional! Great service from Velobike. A+.
The quality looks great, fits my old track bike rear drop outs just right, yet to test but should be perfect
Works well, replaced the one for my Lemond trainer.
This is a great company. They make the top quality parts for your track racing bike. Helped me with setup questions over customer service support.
Will absolutely buy from them again.
Almost perfect. I mean, it's doing its job absolutely perfectly, however it sticks a bit too far out, which is not perfect for the look of the bike, but well, it's doint its job so perfectly I can't complain to much for the aesthetic !!
Thank you !
Really nice bit of kit, super sleek, and really thought out, lot of praise for a tiny thing. But having chewed through a bunch of cheaper products this is definitely worth the money.
The slim design works with the different frames I have and I've also used on the trainer when sometimes maintaining tension is difficult. It has a clean design that allows for a wide range of chain lengths and dropouts. Works and looks even better with Velobike nuts.
Great job designing this!. Works perfectly with what i needed, the market is saturated with chain tensioners. Very little of them are thin like this so they don't fit my axle and are more expensive. Top notch quality. Worth the shopping cost to the US. Will be buying more velobike products in the future very satisfied with my purchase.
I've been using the Velobike chain tensioner on my adapted Lemond trainer for a while now and it makes tensioning and aligning the chain a super simple process. Love the ease of use and the two holes for maximum adjustability.
Fit nicely to my fixed gear bike. Design is great!
The chain tensioner is honestly a game changer, high quality, nice design and most important very durable. If you are riding a fixed gear bike its best thing you can buy. Totally worth it,.
I got the Velobike Chain Tensioner and it’s been a game changer. My setup was always a little off and now the tension is perfect every time. Easy to adjust and holds the tension well even when I’m pushing hard. I don’t even think about my chain anymore which is exactly what I wanted.
It’s solidly built too no flimsy parts just quality that feels like it’ll last. If you’re tired of messing with chain tension this is it total peace of mind no more second-guessing mid-ride.
These chain tensioners are so slick in design, really beautiful , and works like a charm, i have been riding single speeds all my life and had loads of different kinds. I can really recommend this product, you will not be dissapointed, not to mention the professionalism of Velobike.
Very nice design and finish. Looks really durable, so I hope it will last me years. Very easy to use. I couldn't recommend it more.
High quality and looking very nice
A true attention to detail in this product. Excellent fit and finish. You can truly dial in the wheel alignment and chain tension and no more worrying about the wheel moving under load. Highly recommend as must get for any track bike user.
I’ve been using the short version of this tensioner on my Koga Kimera for 2 years now and I’m super happy about it’s durability and design, it’s 2 holes allow optimal axle positions according to the gear ratio.
Excellent finish and low profile make this a must-have for intense efforts while giving you peace of mind!
The perfect combination of this product with the Tacx Neo 2T Fixed-Gear Adapter saves me a lot of effort before training
Great finish and fits seamlessly onto my bike.
Anodized surface doesn't scratch easily and stiff tension makes wheel immune from shifting while sprinting.
May get another one soon
Wouldn’t be able to use the bike without these! They are significantly thinner than other options out there, which allows the axle to catch onto all the threads in the wheel bolts. Great build and design!
Before I got these I was that one irritating ride that constantly pulled wheels leaving the gates. These make sure that even if the splines on your wheel nuts are worn, you'll never pull a wheel again
Well-made chain tensioner that is easier to install than others I’ve seen. I feel confident knowing that my wheel will stay in place during hard sprint efforts on the track - thank you Velobike!
I've been looking for the most optimum way to keep the rear wheel from shifting durning standing starts. I went through quite a few adjustment screws as they kept getting damaged and or bent. Tried other chain tensioner designs and just wasn't happy. Friend suggested I try the Velobike tensioner and man.......this thing works great and have had zero issues!!! Will definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a solid device that does the job right!
I was completely beside myself when I pulled my wheel on a gate start and it made a little groove on the non-drive side chain stay. After practice I walked around the infield looking at the national team bikes and saw a Velobike tensioner on one of the sprinters bike. The Olympic hopeful told me that it was worth the investment. I will never ride my bike with out it.
Bought a pair of these for my Cinelli Vigorelli Shark. They are so well made and for perfectly. I trimmed the bolts, they now look amazing.
Long story short: great quality, perfect fitting, amazing service!
I am always on the hunt for unique parts for my ride, and this one is really unique.
Cheers from France 👌
Well made and well priced, makes wheel alignment / chain tension simple and no more having to over tighten the wheel nuts.
