Gilles or Bonamici Chain Adjusters?

[Kam187]

Going to stick some new chain adjusters on the bike as the standard items are pain.

I'm looking at Gilles or Bonamici, both have a different take on the adjustment so wondered if anyones had first experience and pro & cons of both types.

Also, if anyones selling a set for a Gen3, I'd be interested.

Lightech are great also.
As you are on track mainly I would get an L74 quick release with underslung caliper and modified lightech included. Worth the £££'s in the long run.

what about lightec? (sp)

i personal find gilles stuff more bling than function, bonamici are very very well made stuff but pricey

Lightech and Bonamici use the same style of adjustment and I can get them at a similar price so I’d probably go with Bonamci.

Been offered a really good price on the Gilles but unsure on quality.

Friends got the L74 kit. Good bit of kit but way too much money for me. I pretty quick at doing a normal wheel change, the 5 min saving isn't worth the 1k spend.

I've seen a few break up to worry about changing, what actually is the problem when adjusting OE ?

I've had both Lightech and Gilles on previous bikes and would only buy Lightech again..........saying that, I haven't bothered with any for the Gen 3 and can't say it's been an issue.

Find the standard adjusters really fiddly and I can never get it right on the first attempt as the adjustment always moves when tightening the main nut.


Think the Lightech / Bonamici design will work best so I’ll order a set of Bonamici’s

I'll have a L74 quick release set to sell in a couple of months. Probably OTT though.

Ah just seen gen 3,

I’ve got these sitting in a box doing nothing…

TWM are unbeatable, great quality, had them on my Gen3 and have a set to fit on my gen4
