Finally riding a big boys bike
Hello, I am looking for the correct diameter chain tensioners for my ladies prewar Hawthorne ballon tire bike - the ones that came with the bike were completely roached. I tried the NOS CWC chain tensioners in pics on the right and they are just slightly too big in diameter. You can see in the first caliper pic the OG measured 0.2115” and the NOS ones measure 0.2415”. I’m an unsure of the thread pitch also... Lastly, I’m not sure if the OG ones had nipples on the the end of the bolt or not... any help, knowledge, info, or parts would be greatly appreciated. It’d be good to get the lady back on the road!
Thanks in advance
