Real problem solving.

I converted my bike from a derailleur to a hub. Allowed me to achieve proper chain tension on my bike with vertical rear dropouts.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Perfect for my kmc 7 speed single speed chain

LBS told me this part doesn't exist. This was necessary for my new Superfly Single Speed track. Fits perfectly on the original 7-speed chain

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Only available in white

Fixed SS skipping for me.

Worked to obtain a perfect length single speed chain with vertical dropouts. I used to slip due to improper chain wrap and that fixed it.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Negative torque present

Good solution for tension adjustment

Great option to maintain tension at one speed with no spring compressor. This didn't work with the new narrow wide sprocket style, but wasn't a problem with my other sprocket designs.

Pros
  • Trial for one year
Cons
  • No power

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It doesn't play well with a 9 speed (or even an 8 speed).

but it's a much wider link than a 9 speed chain and the pin is very long - once installed it sticks out on both sides. This is a regular fix when nothing else is available, but if it's just for aesthetics I won't be using it again.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Guard
