Appreciate this may only appeal to a small demographic!
I can see that in use they might be a PITA when you need to remove a wheel but generally do they work okay?
People say the Roadrat setup is a PITA. It really isn't.
I have a slidey drop out inbred, and it works just lovely with either gears or SS. In fact I swapped from 1x9 gears to SS last week in about 20 minutes.
2011 TransAm is a ****tard to swapout the rear wheel. However once in - the 10mm axel means it does soak up really rocky trails like no other hardtail i've ridden.
worth noting the 2012 transam has a new wheel/frame interface system
Thanks guys 🙂
..and if you are running gears you don't really need the chain tugs (I don't on my inbred).
you prolly don't develop enough torque...
If its a Shimano hub, swap the axle for a solid nutted one & the tugs aren't needed.
In fact any hub that can swap to nutted or bolted should suffice.
A QR could not harness the awesome power of the Takisawa.
