What does it do? $:-\$

moley · « **Reply #2 on:** March 13, 2009, 01:53 PM »

I was wondering that!!

How does it lock?

Does it need a padlock?

stops the rear wheel from going out of line and keeps chain tension etc

nice snug fit will keep everything nicely tucked away.

How does it work? Is there an adjuster or something that isnt shown?

Thought I'd seen something, similar type of idea?
http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/product/16018/Simple_Wheel_Slammer

The wheel slammers have the extra material on the washer sandwitched between the axle and the front of the dropout, those pics show it at the back?

i think once they are fitted nothing can move out of line ,i think thats the answer if they are held in the grove it cant twist.

So it cant twist, but it can still move forward. So what is keepin the chain tension?

The slammer things jam into the gap between the axle and the end of the drop out slot (they sell them in a range of thicknesses. Where is the similarity to your one?

It's the same but in reverse, if I understand the pics correctly, but I'm having a bad day so I could be seeing owt

So what is stopping the wheel from moving forward? (ie, keeping the chain tension) $:-\$

The washer bit hooks into the rear dropout by the looks of it to me, stopping the wheel traveling forwards,

Im not getting it, sorry.

The washer can still just move forward with the wheel. $:-\$

its ok alex, i never said they were the same as the simple just along the same lines not that they work the same, il take some more pics when im back in my work shop, just packing to go to taiwan for 8 days, i took the picture with the the spacer in the wrong way

I get it now!! Its a fixed width chain tensioner!

But what happens when your chain stretches a bit (before it eventually snaps)!!

Its not exactly adjustable. And if you change your Sprockets then you'd need different widths to get your tension sorted again!!

I'd like a drop out tensioner that is adjustable but allows you to line up your wheel in both directions. My Auburn Aluminium Rear end likes to increase the tension when tightened. It makes it hard to line up properly with the right tension.

Thats why the Simple ones are avalable in diffrent thicknesses (fractions of mm's). You get the one you need for your sprocket size

sorry alex i wrote that thread before i saw your last one mate no offence intended dude

moley · « **Reply #20 on:** March 13, 2009, 02:46 PM »

I've worn flares, does that count!!

I like the idea!!

Chain tugs are a pain in the arse!!

The biggest problem I have with them is that they don't stop the tension being tightened when you tighten the nuts.

You think you've got the right tension. You tighten the nuts and oh shit its way too tight coz the fecking wheel has shifted.

Great Idea Dibly and allows you to keep the wheel straight!!

Dibly get yourself to Coppull on the 29th for the 1st Round of the Summer Series!!
