    Those are a bit purple.

    How well do chain tensioners work? Ok with being bashed around going up and down kerbs etc?

    Well, you'll have a straight chain line and you'll only have a little bit of slack for it to take up
    If I know you, and I like you, you can borrow my bike box for £30 a week. PM for details.

    Other than being aesthetically less than perfect, by far the best way to achieve a light SS with discs is by converting a carbon geared bike using a chain tensioner, a sprocket and a few spacers on the freehub. In principle, one should end up with a lighter product than the starting bike. 8 kg flat should be easily achievable.
