I use weebly for page building.
You kind of need a web address - I used bigdaddy for that, but any of the reg sites will do.

It is very easy to do. Harder to find the time/motivation to do it!

Those tugnuts look more dangerous than discs on a road bike 😯

Very good.
I haven't ventured further than the on-one tug. Seems I'm missing out on a whole world of tug goodness. 🙂

Yep, surly tugnut every time. Toolless adjust is the winner. Surprised no one's ripped off the design yet.

It is tool less adjustment - don't overestimate how much you want that.

Not to be picky, but do you mean underestimate?

Sorry. I don't even own a singlespeed - just wanted to know what a tug nut was!

The Tugnut is pretty good. Though I've found the adjuster bolt can seize up after a while. So you need pliers to turn it.
Still better than the On-One tug, the bolts on that just snapped.

Also on the Tugnut, the bottle opener bits can get in the way of mudguard/rack mounts, I had to file them off.
