does anyone have a automatic chain tensioner on their china
I think it would be easier on the chain if it were a little loose and didn't have to absorb the shock after the shocks bottomed.I would think the chain would stretch less not having to be tightened all the time.My last chain was the stocker and a bike mechanic looked at it and told me it was shot.Got the tsubaki chain on here now (bought six on a good deal)which is a good chain and still stretching so i would like to take some of the tension off of it

Congratulations on buying six of the Tsubaki drive chains; they are excellent chains at a very good price. I haven't employed a drive chain tensioner, so I can't offer any advice in that area. However, a properly adjusted drive chain should be loose enough that it does not absorb any shock when the rear suspension reaches maximum travel.
