Cam Chain Tensioner....beating a dead horse

[GORDON BROWN]

Hello everyone

Can't say I have ever noticed the noise but the race bikes are quite loud generaly. I think a "nylon" type material would certainly be good for the centre roller. The Ted's special web-site shows one he sells with a ball race centre, looks good.
I think the slipper blade idea might be good as well I use one on a 350K racer and it has worked well. I imagine the main thing is that the chain runs on the centre ridge (on it's rollers ) and not on the side plates ?
OH and Gordon Brown is my real name, I am new to posting stuff and did not think to use a handle ?

Gordon, if you ever get to meet your namesake, please kick him in the goolies..... twice! And Tony Blair can kiss my expat derriere, too; another bloody dipstick, numpty-muppet.....

S'okay; I'm better now.

A pleasure to have you here, posting, pontificating, opining and having fun. Stay on the circuit; the more, the merrier!

I never understood why people don't use their real name on the web. I guess it is an identity theft concern. But for forums, it does not make sense to me. But then again, I guess now you have to sleep with one eye open while you think about eSteve creeping into your bedroom at night to kick you in the goolies.

regards,
Rob

I'd never do such a thing to my forum friends, Rob. However, for crap political figures who allow K-book worshiping, fundamentalist, tosspot extremists to undermine the very fabric of British and American societies, I'll make an exception. Where are my steel toecaps?

Besides, who needs 72 virgins? Give me just two or three experienced, stiletto-wearing slutty birds any day! I can cook, clean & sew for myself, thanks.

Non-smokers essential....

I hear you, Steve. Extremes in either direction are never a good thing.

I'm a firm believer that your average politician is somebody who does not want to actually work for a living. They'd rather figure out ways to milk a system than put in a full day's work. I don't think party affiliations make much difference. For those poor souls who go into public office with the best of intentions and want to make a change, it's only a matter of time before the rest of the deadbeats show them how to get all the goodies they would ever want without working and being weak human beans, they succumb to the temptation. That's not a typo by the way. Always thought that beans describes us better than beings at least if you look at us from a politician's point of view.

Have a Happy New Year or Feliz Ano Nuevo, whichever you prefer.

Best regards,
Rob

PS - What's a tosspot?

Amen, bro'! Like, how to work the system to get extra wonga in their personal coffers by fiddling expenses thus fleecing British taxpayers?

'Tis a pot into which one would toss. Akin to a that found in a sperm bank.

Anyway......

Y igualmente! Feliz Año a todos.
