SB ONE chain tensioner G3CDH | black
Finest single speed bike parts - Made in Germany.
Behind SB ONE are Steffen and Caroline Braungart from the tranquil town of Munderkingen in Baden-Württemberg. This is where they develop, produce and distribute all the products in the SB ONE Bikeparts portfolio. With its single speed kits, the company specializes in niche products - made in Germany - for use on downhill, freeride and slopestyle bikes. Freeride legends such as Brandon Semenuk and Emil Johansson have sworn by SB ONE chain tensioners for years.
SB ONE G3CDH
The G3CDH is the latest development stage and the flagship among SB ONE's chain tensioners. If your favorite spot is the bike park or the next jumpline, if you prefer to ride down the mountain and don't want to worry about the service life of your rear derailleur, then this chain tensioner is just right for you. This fine piece is also milled in Germany from high-strength aluminum and is so robust that it is virtually "indestructible". Another feature is the very high tensioning force of the G3CDH, which is second to none and keeps your bike's chain on the sprocket even in the toughest terrain.
Conversion to a single-speed drivetrain is uncomplicated and quick, as the chain tensioner is mounted on the derailleur hanger instead of the rear derailleur.
Encapsulated tensioning system
The tensioning system is encapsulated, so the tension spring cannot become dirty and lead to a reduction in function. The chain tensioner therefore retains its high tensioning force and reliability over the long term.
Stepless adjustment of the chain line
Another useful feature is the infinitely adjustable chain line (0 - 18 mm), so you can quickly find the optimum setting for your bike.
Damping
The G3CDH also has infinitely variable damping adjustment. This feature is a very useful detail if you want to convert your downhill or freeride bike to a single-speed drivetrain. This function regulates how quickly the chain tensioner builds up force to tension the chain when the rear triangle is compressed. This allows you to adjust the function of the chain tensioner directly to the performance of your suspension so that the chain tensioner does not affect the compression of the rear triangle.
Cagelock
To make removing the rear wheel just as easy as with a conventional rear derailleur, the G3CDH has a cagelock. The application is just as simple. Simply move the chain tensioner in the direction of the front wheel (relax) and then engage the lock pin. You can then remove the rear wheel quickly and easily.
Adjustable stop on the derailleur hanger
The chain tensioner also has an adjustable stop on the derailleur hanger, which allows you to adjust the wrap of the chain.
Note: To be able to use the SB ONE chain tensioner G3CDH, you also need a single speed kit, which consists of the corresponding sprocket and spacers and replaces the usual cassette. You can of course find these items separately in our online store.
When fitting the chain tensioner, it is important to shorten the chain so that the full rear suspension travel is available. The chain tensioner can be fitted to all frames with standard derailleur hangers, as well as to UDH derailleur hangers. The instructions in the user manual must be followed during installation.
