'TOUGH, EASY TO FIT AND CHEAP.'

Strengths:
the dmr tension seeker is a great purchase for anybody converting a geared bike into singlespeed. it runs very smoothly and is extremely easy to fit.it is also a great buy for only 20 quid.it will fit onto almost any frame aswell making it very compatible.

Weaknesses:
the plastic round runner is tough enough to withstand beatings but only normall sized chains will run hrough it so if you try fitting a motorbike chain for extra strength it will not fit in the runner.

Overall:
great buy for anyone wanting to convert to singlespeed with no dificulties and at a low budget.

'A NO-BRAINER'

Strengths:
I've been running this on my Explosif for a couple of months and it's worked very reliably (and quietly) all the time (both on- and off-road). Not too pricey, although you could probably get the same effect with a rear-mech.

Weaknesses:
wheel-changing is a bit more fiddly than with a rear-mech, but nothing that will kill you. Range of adjustment is a bit limited when trying to get the chain taut.

Overall:
It made me feel much more assured about going over to single-speed.

'SIMPLE!!!'

Strengths:
Used this to convert a 12 year old Tufftrax frame into a single speed as a bit of run. Dead simple to fit, works really well and has bought new life into the old bike. Bonus points for DMR as I lost one of the retaining bolts and after a quick phone call and a replacment arrived the next day.

Weaknesses:
Needs a narrow chain. Will not fit a BMX chain. It's a bit pricey.

Overall:
Does what it says on the tin. Really simple, one moving part so not much to go wrong.
