Perfect chain tension is overrated.
Agreed! I've had a slagging for a droopy chain. stays on, though, does everything I want it to and nothing I don't.
2 x EBB, 2 x Salsa Alternator swinging drop outs & 2 x Track ends frames in use and archived (for now 😉 ).
I dont have an issue with any of them - and really could not say which I prefer. Its not the main deciding factor when choosing a frame that can be singlespeeded, other factors are more important.
The Alternators and trackends are good though when running different wheel sizes eg 29plus and Fat on my fat bike.
Thanks for the reply, 'everyone'
That question had been dancing in my head for a good few years!
With any system that adjusts at the rear end, there's the potential to misalign the rear end.
And lose rigidity / or add weight?
It might misalign the rear end, but i'm sure getting it right 'by eye' is just fine. Your bike doesn't go crabbing off into the bushes if it's not quite right.
