Try and get some old 'cyclo' chaintensioners for forward facing dropouts like theseGrahamG said:The track ends advantage is the chain tensioners - I'm sold since chain tension on my horizontal dropouts is a right pain in the arse compared to the old pompino!
Thanks for the tip - are these rockinghorse doo doo or is it quite reasonable to assume they come up on ebay every now and again?Fixedwheelnut said:Try and get some old 'cyclo' chaintensioners for forward facing dropouts like these
As for mudguards, use the SKS front fixings on the rear as mentioned![]()
In my post above, to recap: use SKS QR front mudguard fixings on the rear too. Buy from SJS cycles as they will supply them on their own, albeit charging you more in postage than the things cost themselves.MrGrumpy said:As for mudguards, use the SKS front fixings on the rear as mentioned
you`ve lost me where was this mentioned ?

The cyclo chaintugs are rare I usually pay between £1 and £5 a pair at bike jumbles when I find them, they go for ridiculous money on E-bay, I keep meaning to try and make some, below is the other view.Green Teeth said:I have put mudguards (and a rack) on my Pompino. At the recommendation of someone or other on a forum I used SKS quick-release clips for the back as well as the front, so you can just pop it out of the way if you need to take the wheel out.
You can buy the clips on their own from SJS Cycles.
I find the mudguards essential for winter commuting, I just wish someone would invent a silent variety.
