Tensioner  ChrisMcCarthy, Tawa
Simple and cheap, works well. Didn't come with instructions so you need to realise that the quick release gets pushed through it, slowing the quick release idea down just a wee bit. The nylon roller has a sealed baring on each side and seems well enough made.

Adjustable tensioner  BradTorok, Wanganui
This is a nicely made, light unit, my only concern is the adjustment angle works better with downward tension on the chain with smaller sprockets (I run 14) I would prefer upward tension, otherwise great value.

Adjustable Tensioner review  StarDustThompson, Te Atatu South
Good solid contruction and the wide roller makes up for any spacing issues on the rear hub. The actual travel of the tensioner is limited. My chain slack was minimum and l really only got it for appearances. I think l had a cm or so of slack. Any less than l would suggest a spring tensioner rather then the adjustable or half links. You need to have your rear derailer hanger attached which the bottom derailleur screw goes through. The quick release skewer goes through the spacer. Seems tough enough at this stage.
