Hi, I bought a high performance idler from bikeberry i had a hard time installing it but did it. I test it out on the street and the spring shot out so i have no clue what kind of spring i will need now and dont wanna order one from bikeberry. I was at lowes today and saw one that may work but not sure, Also what is the best way too install a spring loaded idler right now im using stock thanks guys for help.






 
Me? I'd install it back in the box it came in and send it back.

There are a lot of us who aren't impressed with the concept of a spring loaded tensioner. They seem to have one purpose and that's to adjust for an out of concentric rear sprocket. Center that sprocket and you won't need a spring to take up the slack.

Just one opinion. There'll be others.

I second this, and third it, and fourth it xD. I never use tensioners in general, let alone a spring loaded one. You can use one and it will get the job done for a while, but as 2Door said, they are mostly used to band-aid a misaligned rear sprocket. Take the time to do it right, it WILL pay off in the long run.

Also, get one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/80cc-Motori...440&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=2&sd=160684676565&

This allows you to make the chain the perfect size so you never really need to adjust it.
