Cool, thanks for the info.
I had a bunch of cashback on my account with cycle gear so I went ahead and got a set of them.

I had a really hard time convincing myself to get the Lightech because of the price. Always thought about it on my previous bikes but never made the decision to go through.
When I got the MT10, I decided to follow through with the purchase.
Now I never want to go back and will always recommend it.
I would always dread checking the chain before because I didn’t want to go through adjusting, checking alignment, readjusting, etc…
Lightech makes it a breeze and is worth every penny to me. Couldn’t be happier.

Got them last week, they feel quality. Doing my chain and sprockets soon so I'm just gonna wait until then to install these. In case anybody was considering them, they don't come with the axle nut. Sold separately for like $30 and cycle gear doesn't carry them. |

Do you still need to block the chain or shove the wheel forward before tightening the axle nut with the lightech adjusters? Unless I'm looking at this wrong it looks like the axle hole is held stationary by the adjuster. Wasn't feeling up to riding today so I went ahead and installed these finally. Just wanted to get on here to tell people that they'll either need the round tipped alans to get them at an angle or some with a shorter than normal short end because the adjusters don't back out all that far. I had to grind my alan down a hair to get it in there to tighten the swingarm bolt. They're on though, and they're pretty nice. |

With Lightech chain adjuster proper installed on both sided, before tightening the axle nut with stock axle it is recommended to wedge a wrench in between sprocket and chain just to force the axle into forward most position. Also if you are using a Pit Bull rear stand, tire wedge which fits into that is handy to do work without remove the wheel. I reached out to Lightech Italy and they instructed: For the tightening torque you must strictly follow the instruction that Lightech put inside the box. For MT 10, manufacturer specifies rear wheel axle nut Torque is 190 N-m but Lightech specify only 100 N-m! Installed Lightech TEYA003ORO purchased from Germany on my MT10 during tore change... torque to Lightech spec 100 N-m and so far no issues and bike runs smooth. Easy to adjust and good looking.   |
