Ok will do thanks

I've just installed my new sram omnium crankset onto my Cinelli mash work frame.Its a Std 68mm BB. I've greased all parts as per normal setup. Once I've tightened the non drive side with the Allen key (not with a tourque wrench as I don't have one ) there still seems to be some lateral play .Ive remove the crank arm and retightened it but there still seems to be the same play. I know I need a torque wrench and will borrow one but I've done up the bolt pretty tight .Am i missing something ? There were no spacers in the crankset kit so I assume I don't need any either ?
Cheers Ja

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

Open to close offers

Lol ,yes its looks that way although I'd never think to or indeed have ever searched through someone's posts to highlight such a fact .But I can see how it looks .Basically I've invested a great deal of hard earned into this build and as my background is primarily mtb I don't have great deal of experiace with SS builds apart from an On One inbread I built a few years ago .I didn't want to fall fowl of my rear wheel slipping and marking up my new and rather expensive frame as well as any other issues that an out of line wheel might cause simply because I had not bothered to fit a chain tug. Imitadly I should of started this thread before buying the MKS chain tensioner that ended up being the wrong size anyway ,which would of saved myself £30 .And so before I spent another £30 I decided to see what others on here thought of tugs and if they were really necessary .Which it appears there not ,so I'm left with a pair to sell and can push forward with the final jobs to complete this bike .
Cheers

Thanks chaps I'm happy with all this posotive new of the fact they are not needed.
The hubs I'm using are Tensile .I will see how the cerated washers grip .I had looked at the Phil wood chrome dome washers but as they have a inner lip so to speak that sits in the trackend I don't see how I can as my rear axle sits in the trackend so there isn't really any room .
Anyway hopefully all will be ok .
Fingers crossed

So basically guys I should be good without them for general commuting and the odd bit of smooth single track .
If anyone wants a new pair of MKS 5mm tugs I have a pair for sale .

Cheers Jim ,I just thought the wheel was prone to slipping although I have to say in all the pics of complete bikes built using the same frame know one seems to use them . I'm glad in that case as I prefere the look without them .

I'm building a cinelli mash work SS bike and I've just bought some MKS chain tugs which unfortunately don't fit due to my dropouts being to wide .I don't really like the larger chunky ones and wondered if they are really necessary .My rear axle has the Allen key type bolts with the cerated inner face for grip.any help would be great.

Hers a pic

Only arrived today but unfortunately I made a mistake with my measurements.So selling my MKS chain tugs .These are the nicer stealth looking 5mm ones with the neat Allen key adjuster rather than the hex head which I doubt you'll find anywhere as I had a mare .
Cost me £30 plus post will take £30 delivered .
Cheers Ja

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 .

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 ?

I'm after a pair of Allen key MKS chain tensioners for 5mm steel dropouts /Allen key adjustment not hex head type

Cheers

I've bought a set of avid ultimate shorty s can't brakes and want a quality pair of levers for my Cinelli pepper bars ,but can't stretch to paul levers at the mo.
Any good levers that are similar quality ?

I'm after a pair of folding Conti GP four season 32c wide tyres but apart from German bike outlets I can't seem to find them in 32 .Only 28c at best .Apart from winstanleysbikes but they want about £45 a pop. And I was hoping to get a pair for about 65-70 tops.

Cheers guys for your input,I do like the look of the shwalbe s one but seeing I want folding these seem pretty expensive unless anyone knows of a better deal than £40 a pop. I will look a the marathons tonight

I'm building a Cinelli mash work frame up as a S/S cx/commuter. I don't want to run a 35c tyre but would like a 32 to go on the H Plus Son Archetypes .looking to use it on street and some nicely groomed hard packed single track.
They need to be folding type.
Cheers ja

Interested in the wheels have messaged you
Cheers

Please pm me if you have the 3d's still for sale
Thanks

He's replied finally . He says his kids were meant to be shipping Monday/Tuesday but it's second class so guess I need to wait till next Tuesday before taking any action . Just annoying when you can't get hold of people or companies when they sell to the public . I don't normally entertain any online company if it hasn't got a working phone number except for wiggle I guess .

I've just purchased a pair of tensile hubs from a chap called mike who I think owns rock and roll bikes in Nottingham and might be something to do with super cycles . He advertises on eBay but also has a website where I bought the tensile hubs . He said they would be sent right away and yet I have received zero plus his shop number is cut off and his mobile isn't answered ever . I messaged him via eBay initially before ordering and he replied but now I've paid I can't get hold of him .Im going to contact PayPal tomorrow but wondered if anyone either knows if the shop is still trading or if they have another number .

40 for the b17? If your ultra keen to get rid?

Yes no reply nor from the tel number
