Which push down chain tensioners are compatible with lower guides? GT? Jockey’s? Casa? Others?
My lower guide of choice is the Stratos (also recently cloned by Scootopia) but will consider others, if needed.
Thanks in advance!

Why do you feel the need to use a lower guide with the above? As for the tensioner: Casa= brilliant. GT= not so brilliant. I’ve got no experience of any of the others.

I remove lower guides and throw them in the bin.
Both AF and LTH upper tensioners are great also.

I got a lambrettaupgrades one which is really good.
No sign of any wear and still looks brand new after 10k miles (engine is having a strip and check over)

Thank you.
After oil ratios and tread-patterns, nothing will generate a diverse range opinions quicker than lower guides
I'm not really interested in discussing the pros or cons of lower guides in this thread, but seeking input on which push down tensioners, if any, are compatible with lower chain guides.
