Suicide + Rear QR on Turbo

With the parts I've got I could knock up a fixed Turbo bike but it'd be suicide hub and QR (old Campag jobbies) for the rear wheel.

Will only be used on Turbo.

Any reasons I shouldn't be thinking of this - other than Spring is coming of course?

Suicide UTFS says I shouldn't be skid stopping - no bother there

QR UTFS says I should avoid high chain tension situations.... problem maybe?

Anyone done this before?

stick some chain tugs on. That'll work fine

Tighten the QR to fuck. Chain tensioners will put your mind at ease.

It's front facing not rear facing dropouts... makes a difference re: chain tugs?

Someone made some tensioners that work with front-facing dropouts. Have a wee search.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
