tensioners

Anyone know of a 10mm chain tensioner that will work with pegs?

I'll be using a 10mm to 14mm shim to bring my axle up to the size of my dropouts, so need something flat.

they won't fit :(

the axles on my tuffs are too short.

plus the fact that part of that peg sits in the dropout which will be full of my shim.

  Someone used to make a tensioner with built in-10to 14mm spacer.Think it was ID, Billys might still have some in stock.

take the flange of the axle convertor to make a shim that sits inside the dropout,

then use a 10mm tensioner and 10mm peg :daumenhoch:

let me have a looky in my garage, i reckon i might have a pair of tensioners with a 10mm hole and slot to make them fit a 14mm dropout, but i might be wrong.

okay, I have in my possesion a pair of tensioners, 10mm hole but a built in 10mm to 14mm adapter.

however the washer part is very thick, and the thread is very long, but that could be shortened.

any use to you?

I'd be wary of running a 10 to 14mm shim and pegs you'll deffo bend the axles...  :(

or try 10 - 14mm axle convertors (the ones that screw on) they work perfect on my nankai hub :daumenhoch:
