Mid-School, 14mm chain tensioners, where are they?

[LeeDevelopment]

Blimey, in the process of getting my 24" street cruiser back onto the road, or should that be the pavement, and can I find some mid-school brand 14mm chain tensioners? Like hell I can't! Was initially looking for the Profile Racing tensioners and then drilling them alas they don't make them anymore, argh!

I shall persevere! If all else fails I'll get some SE ones and drill them out.

You've tried Alans BMX I assume?

They seem to have some interesting old bits and bobs

Yep,they've been great with other parts just not the 14 mils.

When I was building up a fairly old Redline for my kids years and years ago, I ended up buying some things from the U.S.

Must admit, looking back it seems a bit extreme now - from Dans Comp I think

Funny you should say that, I've contacted folks in the business I know over that side for help too..... desperate times & desperate measures

This isn't quite right, but KHE are mid and they're fairly discrete (not like those ugly ass Box ones): https://uk.khebikes.com/BMX-chain-tensioner-KHE-14mm/M303301

DMR too.

Not a bad call, I've saved it to my bookmarks as a fall back. And yes, the Box ones are awful.
