Thanks Andrew, I'd recognize those shoes anywhere, do you ever take them off? The key issue for me on the tensioner is my Breezer (hooded) dropouts- people have reported that the Renner/Soulcraft/DMR-type tensioners won't fit/work with these dropouts, or should I just order and see? I can't see from the photo in the magazine (of your bike?) where there would be a problem though (your dropouts are also partially hooded) and lack of a spring certainly is appealing-

<p>i would avoid the surly - avoiding springs is a good thing, but if you need a spring because you're changing cogs a lot, the paul has the pivot in the right spot.it's not hard to re-adjust the soulcraft for a 1 tooth difference, either (allen key).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i haven't tried the dmr - but if it's similar, go for it. i was the tester of these tensioners - and would recommend the soulcraft over the rennen just because the rennen didn't work on all my bikes.</p>
