The Rohloff chain tensioner is a spring loaded device that maintains chain tension in a single chainline application.
It should be used with the Rohloff Speedhub 500/14 XXL (190mm) when horizontal adjustment of the hub is unattainable.
Due to the two-sided wide axle, the chain line is at the Speedhub XXL 190mm to 10mm offset inward (toward to the hub center). With this chain tensioner the chain line can be suitably adjusted to 71,5mm.
The Rohloff chain tensioner is easy to install, it simply mounts to the existing derailleur hanger of the frame. Spacers are used for lateral adjustability. For the quick wheel removal the Rohloff chain tensioner swings back when pulling the wheel out of the dropouts. The Rohloff chain tensioner has a tensioning capacity of 10 chain links which is sufficient even for long travel rear suspensions.
