  • I’m currently considering the benefits of adapting a Surly Singleator as it would be tidier and you can adjust the jockey wheel chainline more easily.

    Ben Cooper of Kinetics did something similar to enable the back-pedal gear change and braking on a Duomatic hub (SA redux version, I think):

    It looks like a modified 3rd party tensioner for the Brompton (he says "The tensioner is reinforced, and it moves up to hit a stop when back-pedalling"), but I cannot work out what the white rod is for on top of the right-hand chain stay.

    No idea either, unless it’s some kind of stay protector. It’s a heavily modded tensioner. The Brompification ones are nice as it looks like it allows the jockey nearest the cog to be repositioned. Pricey though...
