Almost perfect for transmission components

This is a great product with a variety of settings. The only downside is that they don't slide fully into the dropout when the wheel is in the fully forward position, which is close to mine. I modified them by sanding and sawing off the problematic part. Now they are really great. See my photo to clarify which part I removed. They need to be recycled the way I made them and then they are perfect! Also, they fit perfectly with my rather thick aluminum mountain bike dropouts.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Not bad

Good product and value.

These clamps are well made and designed. However, I had to modify them to make them work on my bike. I may have a lot of dropouts on my Mongoose DJ682 but they were longer than my dropout slot so I twisted the first comb to have a full range of adjustment. Works great now. If your slots are shorter than "standard" be prepared to change them, which is easy if you have a grinding wheel. I would buy them again in this case because the price is right and they are very good. The problem was probably

Pros
  • Weight

  • I don't really like it, it's ok

Works perfectly! - Parts & Components

Bought these for my beach cruiser GT Dyno Deuce to make it easier to adjust chain tension. I had to cut two end caps off my rear dropouts to fit the two rear clamps, but they fit my rear axle perfectly. Didn't have to take them down or anything like that. Adjusting chain tension on a single speed beach cruiser is not as easy as it might seem. You are 10 times easier! At first I was worried they wouldn't fit because I didn't measure my axle first, but luckily mine was 3/8. I wish the stud bolts…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out Of Style

I would like a better description, size chart

Didn't fit my bike, I would like a better description, size chart or instructions. The slot on the washer that slides into the horizontal dropout is 1/8" thick. If your frame's dropouts are thicker than 1/8" you will need to sharpen some, but no more than 1/32". My 1995 GT Mach. A frame is about 3/32" thick and I would have to grind the threads too much which I think would compromise integrity. FYI, being too thick doesn't allow the nut to tighten/compress the frame. The So non-drive side can…

Pros
  • Doping 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive
