The new decade frames have these brake tabs easy to adjust.

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.
