Okay, well I ALMOST belong in the singlespeed forum. I'm building a PX Jackflash up singlespeed. I heard great things about the convert so I decided to go that route. I'm running an E.thirteen 36t crownwheel up front, and a 17t surley cog in the back with a KMC chain. We couldn't get the proper tension using the pushing position with the tensioner, so we went to the pulling and that worked well... for about 45 minutes. I was excited I got the new bike all built up finally, so I went out to the Dirt Jumps and hit our wallride twice.
On the second landing, the tensioner acted up and lost all tension. It swung forward like the release button had been pushed. I've since consulted the soulcraft site and even after following their instructions on reinstalling it,no luck. It will stay tensioned and clicked in place until I hit a bump. It's not even a big impact, even a bunny hop or even just landing off a curb while messing around in my driveway will get it to lose tension now.
It seemed to be working fine when I took it out of the shop? I rode it a little in the parking lot and it worked fine. I know I should call soulcraft but I called them three times today with no luck, and I don't want to wait around all weekend.
Did I break it already? Are they not ment for DJ/urban abuse(even though it hasn't been working long enough for me to do so)? Could the screw where it threads into the d-hanger be slipping? I thought it was that and maybe I should try some teflon tape. Any one else have this experience? What should I try to fix it? Thanks for your help!
