Putting my kit together and thinking of omitting the tensioner. I see bikes with and without one.
Personally I'm looking for a simple look and I think they tend to make the bike look more clattered and also the more components the more chances of it loosening and getting into the spokes. Since I have a chain breaker and my frame has some room for adjusting the back rim I should be able to eliminate most of the slack in the chain.
Just looking for some opinions from the MB gurus. Pros and cons.
