Ya dont have to open it up and check it every few thousand miles and it's never too tight or too loose.
Went with the Heyden.
Been over 40k miles worry free!!
I did the same on both bikes. It seems Hayden tensioners are not available but there are knock-offs being sold on Amazon/eBay. Not sure I would trust those...Originally Posted by MURPHCC1

I have two of those knock offs on the bench at home. First one arrived covered in rust, I sent pics to the seller and they sent me another one, apparently from the same box, that's covered in rust. I gave up. I've wasted $70 in dumber ways before but this wasn't my finest moment of judgement.Originally Posted by ahhlou

I have purchased items from eBay that went straight into the garbage. Just another form of gambling...Originally Posted by Ultra103
