Ive been having issues with the chain tensioner situation and im currently working on a new solution.
Probably just gonna convert the front wheel to disc brake and delete the back brake

Thats exactally what i did. Best solution was deleting the brake read calipers since their not the most safe to use anyways and get in the way.


Best tensioner for this bike hands down are one of these. You will need to stop by a local Ace Hardware and upgrade all the bolts, nuts, washers etc hardware. I used blue threadlock and modified the bearing arm and arm used to attach the lever and spaced with washers that overlap the bearings of the wheel and bolt used to keep the level attached.

I spent about $81.99, another 165 at the bike shop to have the experience builder 13g the spokes, and install to the rim. He did an amazing job. Drum brakes are incredible on bikes. I have two expense Felt Faker F-Zeros sitting in my apartment and the disc brakes wear FAST! After about the 300 miles on a Wildcat Ported pk80 I had to tighten the drum brake hardware again. Cable does slip off sometimes after very heavy use. This can easily be fixed with hose clamps and thread lock.
