Here is one of my chain adjuster ideas from the 90s ...

Ive worked out how these dropouts work. Its nothing like the simple slammers.

Youd think the person who "invented" them would know how they work ......

I saw a dropout just like this when I was in taiwan two weeks ago

alex come on i said they were along the same lines as the simple slammers ie stop the wheel from moving

probs did

Who invented them Alex ?

[SaMAlex]

its ok alex, i never said they were the same as the simple just along the same lines,  i took the picture with the the spacer in the wrong way

The washer in the picture is in the correct way round. The tag at the back isnt to wedge the wheel (like simple slammers) its to make sure the washer doesnt spin round, cos it will only work in one direction.

Who invented them Alex ?

I dont know who came up with the idea, but it doesnt sound like it was Dibly 

[Dark Diggler]

He never said it was

[SaMAlex]

He never said it was

just been toying around with this idea, i have to say just trying them

OK, My bad. I miss read what he said at the start. I thought it was an idea that UK bikes were trying out 

[teamsano]

if you look real closely at the pic you can see how they work.

it has to be really close tho. seems like a decent idea i think.

Yeah, I loved the idea at first but I aint so sure now. I think the non drive side might slip backwards real easy. Like throw your wheel out of line if you hit the wheel sideways. It'd be good to see how the proto types work out.

i've only ever used a chain tensioner on the one side, and never had probs. you can get a real good torque on 14mm axles.

I agree, sorry but i find it hard to believe that people have problems with wheels moving when using 14mm axles with the nuts tight, I'm sure my rim would fold before the axle ever moved in the dropouts.

[Stodgy]

LOL - ask Pete quad about moving fooking axles...bastard almost killed me.

Somebody send him a torque wrench!

I like the Simple washer idea, a fine example in lateral thinking. I'll be using them in the future. I've also always wondered why companies haven't developed a smaller tidier version of the snail cam adjuster. It pushes instead of pulls, there are no nuts or bolts involved and all the frame needs is a small roll pin or similar in front of the dropout slot for the snail to locate on. It allows adjustability and prevents the wheel from slipping forward, without having owt hanging out the back of the dropout.

[SaMAlex]

Hey Rob, are you back now? If so, good to have you again.

Have you worked out how this one works yet? Its all in the photo but its not that clear at first

[TwoBobRob]

Hey buddy - yeah, I'm back.

I've not really looked at the orginal post to be honest, I kinda skipped through the comments and because poor old Dibbers got on the defensive so quick I've not bothered....

I'll go and look now
