I have just checked my feedback, all seem to be happy with nyloc needing 15mm spanner to adjust tensioner.

Just some comment on the tensioner prices etc.
There are many different tensioners available for the VTR F and all have there + or - , it is not only a matter of price.
Some go for cheap, others for service and future availability of parts and / or services.
Allthough not the cheapest i can only say that the Krieger tensioners have proven their reliability (as well as the APE, Higgins). As far as i know the most expensive ones are the Higgins tensioners (around € 260,= a set), these are from a german producer, they are fully automatic but do not have the problem the original Honda ones can have.
The cheapest ones i have seen were only € 30,= a set shipped, however the supplier withdrew from the business for, to me, unknown reasons.
APE, Krieger and some others need a certain pricelevel as they have had development as well as machinery costs and labour costs. Others copy excisting tensioners from a supplier, nothing wrong with that, it's their responsibility. This explains a part of the pricedifferences, furtheron delivery with or without OEM gaskets and producers instruction supplied makes a bit of a difference as well as the productdesign.
In my opinion you simply cannot compare private person produced products with that of companies as the basic costs are completely different.( i am not talking about the quality aspects, warranties etc)
I have a fixed pricelevel since i started with Mark, sometimes i am able to give my customers special prices for combined shipments with other VTR related parts such as screens, chain kits, airfilters. That is what i can do,and i will keep doing in future, i need a certain margin in order to give the service Mark is also doing otherwise i would not be a good reseller for Mark Krieger. And also important.... i have to pay my taxes !
In the end everybody has it's own reason to buy whatever he wants to buy, but i know quality sells itself , as simple as that.

why is it Rob de Hoo that you always have to make some comment about private persons making manual ccts, its about time you stopped whiching my every move.
