Ever stomp on the pedals just to have your rear
wheel slide forward in the dropouts and throw your chain? We have....using
all kinds of hubs in all kinds of frames. There are lots of
BMX-style tensioners out there, but few of them fit in our
dropouts
without some serious grinding. So, we decided to design a chain
tensioner that will keep that rear wheel static in our dropouts...and
most other kinds of rear-facing horizontal dropouts. Plus,
ours will open up a bottle o' brew. The body of the Tuggnut is
investment
cast in stainless steel for durability. It features a thumbscrew,
for tool-free adjustments, and 2 axle holes for a wide range of
fore/aft
wheel positions. The Tuggnut comes with an
aluminum
adapter that reduces the axle hole from 10mm to 6mm, so you
can use it with quick-release axles, in addition to nutted axles.
We sell it as a single, because you really only need one...on
the drive side. But, if you absolutely need one on the non-drive
side of your rig, to achieve balance in your life, you are
in
luck...the bottle opener works either way. |
