thinking of buying one tomorrow have a few questions ..., I'm thinking of single speeding it so do I have to by a special chain for single speeding ? also will I need chain tugs ....the frame only seems to come with one do I need two or not bother with them ??? cheers
richie
only need the one chain tug on the drive side.
Ijust use any old chain never caused me any problems.
aww cheers one other thing if you move the wheel back and fore to adjust the chain tension what do you do with the brake caliper ? its fixed to the mounts ! ?
cheers for photo I get how it works now
Just one thing.....sling the chain tug in the bin and get a Surly chain tugg as the DMR one is cack and never allowed the wheel to be tensioned far back enough....otherwise nay worries they are good.
Yeah, just to echo donks, the DMR chaintugs are rubbish apparently. When people talk about the Surly ones, do they mean the Tuggnut? Seems expensive. I'm about to convert my 1x9 Virsa to singlespeed and am going to try to live without a chaintug (QR!). I don't hold out much hope but I could do without shelling out £20 for a chaintug.
