I am a newbie, but here is what I have found out about the tensioners you are looking at.

the STS is a similar design to the Rennen. I have one in front of me right now, just showed up...

It is a set tensioner, no springs or anything. you lock it in place with wheel skewer. The tension seeker 2 and singulator are spring loaded, and use said spring to create tension. These are the ones that people often use zip-ties or rubber bands to hold in place after a period of time.


as was said, ENO is the way to go, but I coudlnt afford it.

Good luck

Matt

FWIW, arround me (dallas/Ft worth area) a typical single color powdercoat is about 75 bucks for a chem strip/dunk and powder coat. That still brings the job to about 225, or about the same as the cost of a cheap wheel build.
