I have an IO and one of the little screws that align the wheels has bent so I have taken it off. I am suffering with the chain going stack after every ride and i wondered if the right way to go would be with a chain tug. If u think that this is the right way to go then can u recommend a make and model?
Cheers
David

Where can I get those screws from?
And what are they called?

Could you not just go to a bolt shop? I'm sure they'll have a bolt that is the right length and fits.

Apparently the NDS is under less force than the DS so you could try using the NDS screw till you get a spare.

SJS probs good for this sort of thing.

I sheared the drive side screw on my Simple after it became stuck solid - replaced it with a chain-tug and it's been fine since (the non-drive side still has the screw 'tensioner' in)
