(23 customer reviews)

If you have a geared bike that you want to run as a singlespeed the Rapidé Tension-R Chain Tensioner is just what you need! It will take up the slack in the chain using a sprung arm and jockey wheel and takes the place of the rear derailleur.

The jockey wheel is adjustable side-to-side for chain position making it easy to get the correct chain line and the compact internal tension spring makes for stiffer, flex-free chain alignment and control.

    I purchased my first Tension-R about 6 months ago for my first Single Speed build.Have done over a 1000km’s on the bike and I’m very impressed with the product.It is made of high quality material and extremely durable,has not failed in its task through all the trials an tribulations I’ve put it through.Was so impressed with it that I recently purchased a second Tension-R for another build.Would recommend it to anybody who wants to do a Single Speed build with a frame with vertical drop outs.

    Easy to install, good tension, perfect for an SS build on vertical dropouts!

    Awesome product!

    Quick and easy installation.

    All round quality! Not to mention the amazing service received regarding the delivery of this item.

  4. Rinus (verified owner) –

    Super swift service and great product.

  5. Simon (verified owner) –

    Does exactly what I wanted. Will likely last much longer than my previous tension device that used a roller.

  6. Gareth (verified owner) –

    Great device for turning a standard rig into a single speed.
    Runs smoothly and quieter than other non-sprung brands that I have tried previously. Also makes it very easy to remove the wheel in event of a puncture.
    Good value for money too.
    Only gripe is that the horizontal pulley adjuster rod sticks out quite a bit when the cog is fitted closer to the outside of the freebody. I have trimmed mine a little shorter to make it look more sleek.

    From initial enquiry until delivery and installation of the components it was an absolute pleasure to deal with Rapide (and their representative Wayne). Great initial advice as well as after sales service to ensure that everything was working to my satisfaction. One will have to go a long way to experience exceptional customer service like Rapide’s

  19. Taylor (verified owner) –

    Absolutely brilliant, so easy to install remember to install tensioner with spring fully loaded, pin up. Quick delivery time, works great. I got 20 teeth, 18 for bit of incline maybe a bit too tough, 20 still pretty tough aswell but nice. Great product, sturdy.
