• Im building a single speed bike up using a Cinelli mash work frame .I though it would be best to use chain tugs and so bought a set of the MKS 5mm chain tugs as they look nice and small and well made .
    They turned up today but sadly I couldn't get them to fit over the rear dropouts .I think if I filed the dropout ends they would fit but having just spent £750 on the frame I'm a little reluctant to do that .But wondered if it's common issue and if so do most file the dropout ends ?

  • Find chain tugs that fit rather than bodge your frame. Try the 8mm ones or don't use them at all.

  • hack the tugs to fit.
    buy tugs that fit.

    Wouldn't hack the dropouts, but if you do and it dosn't work out i call dibs on the ruined frame :)

  • Thanks guys ,I think I'm going to sell the nice sleek 5mm ones and get the 8mm chunky ones that don't look as stealth but will no doubt fit .
    Best get a sale add up .

  • Let me know how the 8mm fit. By the way, I have got the same frame and built it ss without chain tugs. I am curious to know why you want to use chain tugs.

  • I thought it was necessary but having spoken to others on here and after seeing pics of this frame built up I think they are not now needed so I'm just selling the5mm ones

  • cant you just send them back/return them?
