The tensioners work really well. I’m a bit concerned about getting a rear puncture in proper winter, however, as I have to loosen the tensioners fully and unscrew the mudguard stays to remove the rear wheel. But I’ve only ever had three punctures on 4 Seasons with 10,000km’s clocked so 🤞🏻
Can you undo the axle bolts completely, pull the stays apart a bit all the way and then drop the wheel vertically? That's what I've ended up having to do with my 1x1 after fitting guards and with its stupidly placed disc mount.
Wish my friends were as productive in their spare time. Digging the integrated tensioners
