I like the sound of the TNT ones, does Mark Masters still do these from on ebay?

[Lazarou]

You could try Billy's for the TNTs.

Static was/is Mason Smiths (custom riders) little engineering shop.  Run by a mate of his I think, they used to produce all sorts of little nuggets.  The chain tensioner was a good sized ally machined washer with a block to slide into the dropout, a peice of M6 stud, a nice ally retainer and a 10mm nyloc nut to finish it off.

I think from memory, he also produced one with a 14mm block, but a 10mm hole, thus becoming both tensioner and axle converter all in one  

I might even have my old ones lying around somewhere.  want me to have a look tomorrow?

If you want, I could have a look around at work and see if I can get you some longer bolts to use.
It looks like its only the lower left one that is anywhere near long enough!

Oh, Maybe they are like those bars that drag cars have out the back to stop them flipping over. Dingo has such a snap out of the gate he needs wheelie bars!

[workshyfop]

is this really why you have one extremely long bolt??? to act as a wheelie bar??
methinks you may be teasing........i'd love to know the real reason (unless it is as simple as i think, and you've lost a grub screw)
