realigning of SS rear wheel

woodyonthebeach

Right I'm getting marginally cheesed at the moment with having to realign my rear wheel when I take it off off my SS.

Im usually a pretty patient person but it has now sufficiently got on my wick.

Is there such thing of a spacer that you can fit in dropout that will save what little is left of my sanity

You need a pair of tugs, once set you just slot the wheel back in until they hit the dropout, sorted.

Got a link dude???

You can get away with using just one on the drive side but they're sold in pairs. I have these on my bike.

Any idea if these would fit a Langster?

I have tugs on at the moment. I was just wondering if there is such thing as have a spacer on the frame.

So between the frame and axle

Wouldn't really work as you need to move the wheel forward to drop the chain off to get the wheel out of the frame.

The MKS tugs come in two widths, 5 & 8mm. Measure the frame thickness to see if they do fit. My Tricross has 10mm dropouts so I cut the side off mine to make them fit. I know I've got one, possibly two MKS tugs, in 8mm flavour going spare, £12 if any good to you.

Cool will have a measure and get back to you.
