What also works is if you just buy a simple chain tension kit like THIS one.

This kit can turn any wheel into a SS and the tensioner solves the

chain "Slack" problem. This just mounts to the dropout and the skewer

pushes through it. Very light and durable. As you can see they cost

around R500 from CRC. If you need some' date=' I can get new kits for R300.

Just PM me...

CRC have that kit for R 426. If you add VAT and the 10% it comes to R 492 excluding postage.

Hey Those trails Are In Richwood, Near the Caltex refinary.  But the Photo was taken about 2 yars ago. And Im afraid It doesnt look quite so well kept no more

 

I dont build there anymore as I sold my jumpbike and now ride trails and XC most of the time.

 

That small line was the bomb , It had hips and many different kind of jumps in one 8pack. Even a spine at the end. What a jol.

Ok I found this cool fixed gear site: fixedgeargallary.com

 

There is a post of a Bianchi and the guy said he used :"Rear hub is a flip-flop fixed/fixed by Novatech with some random rims"

 

So what is that and how does it work i.e. no tension jockey used for vertical drop out frame, is it still like a track bike then?

see picture below
