Hi
I would like to ask if anyone can help me with my chain tension?!
Im riding a fixed gear conversion with forward facing dropouts...when i loosen the wheel and pull back the rear wheel the tension feels spot on but as i carry on pulling/pushing to try and keep the tension and tighten up the track nuts...and as soon as im done....the chain is as slack as before...ive redone my back wheel about 12 times in past 2 nights and cant get it right. i could get it pretty good before but recently its been pretty bad...
anyone got any suggestions that may help out?....would be muchly appreciated!
cheers,
Duncan.

wasnt very impressed...good idea but mine didnt help with tension and when tightening track nuts the tensioner at first span around with the nut and after that when i managed to keep it still....it fully distorted and way over bent....also marked my frame even with plastic strip between bolt and frame.

hey...do you know what year its from...cos if its quite old...you may need a funny BB. cos they used a differnet thread to anyone else 26tpi instead of 24....check out sheldon on raleigh
I heard about the differnet threading after i got a new BB for my Raleigh grnad prix...i just bought a 68mm/103mm sugino BB and it went in fine...so depends on year. you might need to ask LBS if ur not sure!
60 collected? is that ok? do u live in london cos im down this wkend? im not in leeds at the mo and dont really plan to go there for a while is all.
