Morning all.
I run an Alfine on my commuter and have to re-tension the chain quite often, every couple of weeks (~150-200 miles). I thought I might try a chain tug so [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FSOOCT/on-one-chaintug ]bought one from On-One[/url] however it doesn't appear to be compatible with Alfine because of the anti-turn washers.
Has anyone used a chaintug with an Alfine, and if so which? I looked at the Surly Tuggnut but that looks like it might have the same problem.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
[url= http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/mks-ca-njs-chain-tug-prod21950/ ]I use these[/url] after having the same problem as you. However I've found that only slows the 'wheel creep' down, rather than get rid of it completely. I think the problem comes from the fact that the anti'tutn washers mean the bolts don't have a full thread, so it's easy to strip the nuts before you can tighten them adequately
PS have you tried mounting the On-One chaintug between the drop out and the hub? That might work...
I filed out the chaintug to make a notch for the anti rotation nut
Those do look interesting shermer - are they just standard bolts? Could they be replaced by something a bit longer? Looks like they might be machined in some way.
How do you mean, between the dropout and the hub? You mean at the closed (front) end?
drofluf - yep I think I may have to take the file to it...
