My roller doesn't make much noise

My roller doesn't make much noise

With earphones in

wrap a section of inner tube round it.

If it's a noise akin to a DCD, I don't have a problem with it..

The side plates would negate the potential chain derailing issue though, surely?

Not going for a high-end build or owt but I do want durable, reliable kit....

The side-plates are so high there is no way the chain can jump off.

I'd love a pulley with ball-bearings though, for that smooth & silent ride of my deams...

BTW I use the push-up spring.

I'll take pics of my bike one day.

A cool tool for simple people like me who ride single-speed :

roller's far better than a jockey wheel
for cheap spacers you can ghetto it with plastic drain pipe
36 mm stuff iirc

Significantly better than all other bolt on tensioners

If your going to hang stuff from the mech hanger it might as well be a mech

Like the tensioner up front apart from appearance, is there pro's/cons to either??

From the DMR link

Designed to run with geared chains (not singlespeed).

Any ideas why they don't advocate using it on ss??

Because they also sell a SS specific kit for more money

I have also used one of these with no problems and I think Dr S did too on his Cotic.

Mine has a jockey wheel with high sides - never lost a chain

Just like this one:
