【LighTech】Chain Adjuster Review

Convenient but adds weight

good point
Chain adjustment is easy:Bolt with Click feeling and fixed position makes adjustment easy.
The fine scale makes it easy to obtain parallelism, and there is no gap when tightening the Axle.

A bad point
Nut (sold separately) is required:If a pure STD nut is used, the split pin cannot be used due to shallow seating.
There is a designated Nut, but Material:It costs almost 10,000 for Titanium and it's not Castle Nut, so I can't use the allotment Pin after all.
Normally, I don't think it will loosen, but I am concerned because 10R is specified as 130N, but this product is limited to Torque 100N.
Nut with Gills loosening stop will be installed.

Weight gain:400g for both, a large weight gain since the OEM weight is a few tens of grams. 4kg increase in weight according to the 10-fold law under Spring, but no perceptible change for the average person.

Thin detent:The detent on the Shaft head on the Sprocket side is too thin and precise, making it difficult to fit.
Once I tightened it without fully fitting it, the corner buckled.

I like it because it makes it easier to adjust Chain, which I dislike even though it is written in a way that has more bad points. View detail

Genuine Lightech MT09 Chain Adjusters

Looking at getting a set of these for the wife's MT09 bike but in the UK there are not a lot of dealers that actually stock for the this model. I found these on Webike which was a total fluke. I found the correct part from Lightech's own website and got the correct number for the MT09. The wife asked for blue but I changed her mind and then went for black. Keep it nice, clean and neutral looking. The price from Webike was very competitive and around the same as I have seen elsewhere in the UK if there was available stock. Along with a few other parts in the basket, I usually save some as they are what I use frequently. This meant the shipping cost was lower for multiple items and saved me some money. EMS fast is the courier I use as they are by far the best option for me right now. They delivered my order in 5 days from placing it. The space, if any, inside was filled with bubble wrap and air pockets. The outer box was sealed. I had a few smaller parts and some weird shaped ones, this meant nothing could get damaged with movement in the box in transit. Very good idea guys. Upon delivery, the adjusters look absolutley amazing loveley satin black finish and all the adjuster parts are smooth and not creaky like some I have had before from other brands. I have had experience with Lightech adjusters before and I really do like the mechanism of the actual adjuster, very slick. There is a nice lock grub screw on the under side of the rear adjuster, don't forget to loosen that or you will have many issues. Really easy to adjust the chain with these. The adjuster mechanism has a nice click for each notch. You can get so much more accurate results with these than the stock ones fitted. I even double checked with a laser to see how accurate they were, spot on. So, very happy customer and thank you Webike for the great services you provide. View detail

Genuine Lightech Chain Adjusters for MT10

I get so annoyed when trying to adjust the chain by using the Yamaha fitted stock ones. Honestly, they are not always 100% accurate and wanted something I know is easy to use, easy to adjust and no misinformation each side. These are what I went for. The Lightech brand are some I have used many times before and only recently started adding them to the Yamaha MT10. I found the part number relatively easily via a UK site. The cost was pretty similar to what I can source locally but again, the gold version was out of stock at my usual supplier. Generally, I have more than one item in each order and try for at least 10. This then custs down on shipping costs as it is spread over so many items. The shipping goes on a point score, which sometimes can be a little weird as some parts that are really small and light are sometimes more points than say something like these. Anyway, I opted for teh EMS fast service. Very good value. All my order was packed shipped and arrived at my door in 5 days. Even though there were some weird sizes and wights of parts in this order, Webike made everything fit correctly inside and even padded out any space with bubble wrap and air pockets so nothing could get damaged in transit. It's not always how the courier handles the package but how the warehouse pack items. Nothing could move much at all in this order and that meant, no damage or anything.Very impressed. The adjuster themselves are a stunning piece of kit. I have already tried the Gilles TCA adjuster on other bikes and to be honest, I think Gilles overthought the TCA ones, the grub screws were tiny and not great. The should have stuck to the KTS version. So, this is why I went for the Lightech option. Very straight forward, not tiny little grub screws to contend with and they just work. Fitted pretty easily, if you know what you are doing. These are smoothly finished and the anodizing is gorgeous. All the thread on the bolts are nicely finished with no burrs. The mechanism for adjusting is smooth asa silk. Great once they are fitted as there is minimal effort to adjust your chain correctly. I did forget, there is one small grub screw. This is the one that stops the rear adjuster bolt from moving but that's about it. I love these adjusters. Makes my life so much easier when it comes to maintenance. Thank Webike for the effort you put into each order. Thanks you!! View detail

Great product

Makes chain adjustments a breeze - just loosen the axle and give one click to each adjuster and re-tighten axle. Job done. Product is very well made and I will be putting them on all my future bikes because of how easy it makes adjustments. View detail

Chain pull is so easy!

It took us a while to get them back, but that's ItalyQuality
The construction is very clean.

I used to use GILLES TOOLING's Adjuster.
If you want to make fine adjustments, I think it's Gills, and if you want to have fun and adjust, this is it.
By the way, you can use Pad of Gills because Pitch between Screw is the same.
Installation is at your own risk …

I personally wish that I could have chosen Titaniumium color or some other meek color … View detail
