They're bloody lovely, I'd use one as a key ring.

You put them on the end of the drop out, and the ring bit on the axle. You then set the chain tension, and use the chain tensioners to help to tweek it aswell.
The chain tugs are helping to keep the chain tight basicly, so you have the bolts on the axle, and the chain tugs keeping the axle in.
And they help to tension the chain right aswell.

I fancy some aswell, would mean me having to tension my chain up less.
Im going to make some for my fixed with front facing drop outs because they are hard to get.
The Surly ones are nice, but they are pretty expensive

Surly ones are £19.something each. You only need one on the drive side, so they just sell one for that price.
MKS do 2 for £23.50 or something dont they?
Surly ones do look better though
