Default New manual chain adjuster. Any thoughts?

Looks interesting.Yet another $150 part to address junk parts on our bikes that should have been put on in the first place

Cheaper than the Baker unit and a little more expensive than the Hayden.

Tons of posts about the stock tensioner, the Hayden, the Baker, and the new SE version.

I put the HD and immediately took it out after adjusting it twice.,,,,way too noisey for me. go with the hayden m6 if you want an auto-tensioner ( still has a slight whine) or the Baker if you don't mind manually adjusting once in a while (dead quiet)

I'm currently running an M6 but I'm putting a in Baker ...Personally I my primary dead quiet. who likes to hear whining, LOL!
