I can see 2 ways to sort this out, message the Ebayers and get them to measure their chain tugs or buy a couple and fashion the back plate myself, though I'm thinking that any metal worker could knock one up in 5 mins.
I have zero knowledge of BMX so I have no idea if their dropouts are especially thick, is there anyone on here who has that experience? I know my bike is a bit special but didn't realise it was so different in reference to the dropouts. Just had a look at my other fixed, a Pearson, and the dropouts are within the same width [no chain tugs] so not that unusual after all. Given that the Pearson is not a rare bike, mine's a Touche if anyone here has one with chain tugs on other than surly's I would be grateful to know what they are.
Thanks for your input ce, I'll take a look anyway
