Hardtail chain slack tensioner (which style?)

Can't decide if its better to use the skateboard wheel or the little sprockets.... whats your thought?

Thanks!

my opinion sprocket is way better! stays on track with no issues skateboard wheel if your chain gets to either side just sounds scary. I really dont want to get whipped by a chain at 50mph. totally my opinon man. Im sure im going to hear about this from the skateboard people

I have the weld on with the skate wheel because I'm running a 520 chain , and I only saw 530's on there web site. As long as the chain is tightened before tensioning, it won't flop side to side. There is a lot of machinery using similar setups. Probly running at a lot higher speeds.

one the skate whel is alot better looking and two its alot more quiet when ridding

if you run a sprocket that som-bitch better be dead on and hope it doesnt pull side to side when welding...
