i am mostly wanting one..what you got

Cheers

Dave

have a look at http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk

it will involve you putting your hand in your pocket though!

I'm sure you are already aware that i'm tighter than a tight thing

And you will need to be "faster than a fast thing" to pick one up from here. They are the number one wanted item.

About £80 S/H.

Best of luck Asda.

In that case, just drill out the lower idler bracket (about 12mm) until to can turn the pulley by hand and save yourself some money!

I bid on one on fleebay last wee, bid £70 thinking I was being generous for a thing I believe to cost £110. anyway sum fud paid £100

add the vat and delivery and they work out to more like £135, got one last week, but still, £100 for a second hand one on the bay still sounds dear!

I do not know what bike you are running Asda but a X/XT is less of a problem than most other 9/12s.

Try this. Put the bike on the stand, see how free the tension wheel is, idle the engine until the fan comes on and then see how free the idle wheel is. You will find that the wheel is tighter because the swingarm has become longer due to expansion via heat.

The FST adjusts for this and long swing arm movement with the right spring set-up. Balanced loading on wheel/gearbox output shafts/bearings. Belt fouling sorted = longer life. Smoother gear changes.

If you want to run your bike for any length of time then it is a must. Pricey I know but needed 100%.
