Hi, a lot of threads are about the ratchet tensioner, I have this type of tensioner;

and was wondering if it was possible to simply convert it to a manual tensioner rather than buying one for £50.
There is not a lot to it:

In fact it is manually adjustable as I adjusted it slightly before but the folks at advrider seemed to think I needed to buy a manual one.
I am just confused as to why manually adjusting this tensioner would be a bad idea.
