Barbra Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Just went out for a ride, met my mate, then we were just messing about and boom, there goes another set of onza chain tugs. Thats 5 pairs ive gone through, so thats £45 pissed away on something so stupid. My question to you guys is; does anybody make any decent chain tugs? Or has anybody on here drilled and tapped their frame so that they can use snail cams? (i have a zona zip)thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMunn Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 get the gusset chain tugs on tarty, only £6 and strong as anythingi got some the other day.JKI had gussett ones too, tough little buggers! I modifyed mine a little though to make them to hold the axle with short drop outs (zoo python) But they worked a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 If you get any old tensioner of this style and run it on the inside of your dropout then it keeps them out of the way and there a lot tougher, I used to do that on my 24seven and it took loads of harsh knocks and is still going with the guy who bought the bike I think.Also, here's a page of chain tugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get them, take out the uber long bolts and put short ones in, plus they can act as spacers for the rear wheel. cheers mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 gusset ones for sure mate, beefy little blighters and so simple you cant not make em work, all these other ones with dual bolts and all that jazz, bollocks, simple circle to hold the axle and a threaded nyloc bolt to tighten, pure unadulterated simplicityBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
