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

The doctor said I needed to start drinking more whiskey. Also, I’m calling myself ‘the doctor’ now

You need a pair of tugs, once set you just slot the wheel back in until they hit the dropout, sorted.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

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

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 axleThe doctor said I needed to start drinking more whiskey. Also, I’m calling myself ‘the doctor’ now0 -

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.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0 -

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.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0 -
