Interbike 2008: Yess Pro Chain Tensioner
A while back I did a review of the Yess Pro Full Suspension Single Speed Tensioner.
At Interbike, we met up with Yess Pro and they showed me one of their other tensioners and I asked if we could test it, they agreed and handed me a unit right there.
This is the ETR-B, its a bottom bracket mounted tensioner. I wanted to try this baby out because I want to make my drive train look cleaner and eliminate the tensioner that hands from the derailleur hanger.
The ETR-B is adjustable to ensure a perfect fit and tension.
Once I get it installed, I’ll report back on the performance.
I think I had a dream about something like this before. Well maybe my dream has been answered
Is this tensioner supposed to work on FS bikes? I may have to try it out. I’m currently running the ETR-V on my Giant Anthem. While it works wonderfully, it makes tire/tube changes a real pain. The tensioner has to come off before the wheel can drop out of the frame. Makes trailside repairs a real PITA.
I have the ETR-H and the ETR-B. All have performed way beyond their advertising. When it comes to my tensioners I will always use YESS.
To answer Dman’s question the one shown here is not the full suspension one. Go to http://www.yesspro.com and look at their stuff. There you will get all your questions answered.

one very happy YESS customer
