    The rear wheel set-up in my pompino needs a fair bit of tlc these days – harder to align correctly and the chain noticeably loses tension over a few rides. Any tips for putting things right?
    When I got the bike I recall chain tugs not being recommended, as the wheel is self-tightening (not 100% sure on how this works). Worth sticking one on? Or maybe getting the dropouts faced?

    I feel like the bike has a hard life, getting ploughed through rough commuting roads, but I doubt it’s done 5000 miles. So nowt, really, compared to some of the steel fixed gears knocking around.

    I would try a chain tug, there’s a pompino thread on LFGSS, might be worth a search through that..

    Cheap chains do wear quickly.
