Any question answered...

I think the Australian is referring to bits of poo on a sheeps bum

I believe they also go by the names of tagnuts, winnets, willets, bumbles and burgleberries to name but a few.

Klingons?

Thats what they called them in Oz is it, I've always known them as clags or winnits.
Ha! Constable Savage has heard of winnits too, bum berries is another.

Dangleberries too.

Hoping to jump on the Roscoff ferry early this April with a few friends for a cheeky week or so's cycling and rough sleeping. Any suggestions where to head from the ferry port? Not all that keen to do any public transport once we're there.

Q
where can i get a campagnolo record 1" threadless compatible crown race (cheap)?

Is there any affordable method for chain tensioning a conversion with horizontal drop outs that is even vaguely aesthetically acceptable? Not looking to stretch as far as the White Industries ENO rear hub.

Wait, what?

Haha, I've always had trouble with horizontal/vertical - drop outs are vertical, converting an old road frame... serves me right for rushing my typing.

Well a horizon-ramp would not be a good venue for many X-Games disciplines.

Surly Singulator pushing up is quite neat and increases chain-sprocket engagement.

Or if its just a bit of tension you need, will the Surly Tuggnut do?

Looks pretty tidy, cheers!

Would that work with vertical drop outs? Looking at pics and spec I can't quite see that it would give enough movement to get chainline tense?

Probably not if your dropout doesn't allow for much movement.
If you're taking up a bit more slack, go the Singulator...

You know that you can't use a tensioner on a FG. SS is fine.

Didn't know - building up a single speed for a mate so fine here but if you can easily explain why tensioner wouldn't work fixed would appreciate it...? Is it that the applied tension works when 'power' is only going through the drive chain in one direction, but would screw up when 'reversed'?

Yup, it applies tension to the side of the chain that is slack, if you were fixed and resisted pedaling the bottom of the chain would tighten by itself and the top would be slack with no tensioner and would likely come off. You'd also break the tensioner if it isn't a sprung one.

anyone know if a chain catchers is a must in a single speed with tensioners situation?

Never had a problem and I off road with mine, but I don't have a single speed cog.

EDIT - I run geared chain ring and cog on a geared hub with a 1/8 chain and spring tensioner

If your chainline is straight and you're using single-speed specific chainring, chain and freewheel, it should be fine without.

thought so, cheers!
