Rohloff Chain Tensioner arm for DH Chain Tensioner Shorty
The Rohloff Chain Tensioner arm for DH Chain Tensioner Shorty (Art. 8246) is the replacement arm for the DH Shorty 8245 and 8245-10 – the compact tensioners for downhill and extreme off-road use.
Why a replacement arm?
Keep the Shorty running. Hard off-road use takes its toll; replace the arm instead of the whole tensioner.
Exact fit. Listed by Rohloff for 8245 and 8245-10.
Short and robust. The Shorty’s short arm keeps the tensioner out of harm’s way on rough terrain.
Simple repair. Reuse the remaining parts of your tensioner.
Who is it for?
- Downhill and enduro riders. Where the tensioner sees impacts.
- Bikepackers on rough trails. A small spare for remote routes.
