Rohloff Chain Tensioner hanger
The Rohloff Chain Tensioner hanger (Art. 8254) is the black mounting plate with brass bushing of the Rohloff chain tensioner – the replacement for a bent or damaged hanger plate.
Why replace the hanger?
Small part, full function. A bent hanger misaligns the whole tensioner; replace only this part.
Takes the knocks. The hanger sits low at the dropout and is the part most likely to be hit.
Reuse the rest. Arm, jockey wheels and spring stay on the bike.
Genuine Rohloff. Made for the Rohloff chain tensioner.
A part from the tensioner kit
Rohloff offers the chain tensioner as individual spare parts: hanger, arm, jockey wheels, spring, mounting bolts and distancing washers.
Who is it for?
- Riders with a bent tensioner mount. After a crash or a hit on the drive side.
- Off-road and touring riders. A cheap spare to carry.
- Workshops. Repair tensioners at part cost.
