3/8 axle + 14mm dropout + peg shim + 14mm chain tensioner = WIN!! 

This took a bit of head scratching, but I wanted a tensioner on the T-Bird. Mission accomplished.

 I think your SS spacers are backwards, but maybe mine are. Mine are like this.

 100%. I put it on backwards because there is no other way this would work. There is a 3/8 to 14mm shim between the nut and the tensioner. The tensioner and dropouts are 14mm while the axle is 3/8. This is the only way it would all work together. This is not how I normally put on a Gum Drop. This was pure jimmy-rigging.

 I'm confused. Are you talking about tensioner/axle shims? I was talking about the singlespeed kit on either side of the cog.

 Ok, it took me a long time to figure out what you meant by backwards here. Ok, yes they are technically on "backwards" but it is because I found they worked better like this when I was running 12 tooth with them. I am just in the habit of putting them on this way now. Meh, a spacer is a spacer. You are technically correct though.

 dayum gurl. shit's legit. is that a 9mm front axle?
  • 1 0
 Nope. 20mm thru axle converted to a 9mm peg mount on the one side. Still a thru axle. This bike is fucking dialed.
