Hi,

I have one of these on my single speed MTB -

http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=58&products_id=268

I know on some tensioners you can change the spring/modify them in some way so they push the chain up instead of pulling it down.

I have taken this one apart, but can't figure out if it's possible or how to do it.

Any advice?

    You need to remove the circlip that holds the rear mech boss and put it through the other way.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
