I'm a bit thick...
what holds a tuggnut in line (ie keeps it in the slot)?
I can see that the nut/qr would hold the front of it in, but what about the back - is it just interference and chain tension or are they grooved or something?

(I have a cheapo one - on one or sjs I think - that has a hollow "cap" that sits ovet the ends of the slot & seems more secure than this system)

So the question is, just how thick am I ?

the wee screw tightens it against the chain so the wheel isnt thrown forward-turning pedals pulls wheel forwards and nut pulls back against it.

thats pretty much it as far as i know

Yeh, I agree with you in principle fontmoss but what does the screw push/pull against ? Looks to me like it would have no effect as it seem to just "hang off" the back of the tuggnut body

🙄

I get it now (maybe)

Never seen the back of one - the thumbscrew isn't internal to the main body, it sits behind and maybe has another "bit" that never gets shown on images of the things but sits across the end of the slot for it all to push against ??

have a look here on [url= http://surlybikes.com/parts/tuggnut/ ]surly[/url] site

Cheers "...the T-shaped slider piece to reside in the tail end of the dropout..."

think this is as I'm imagining but have never seen a pic of the rear of one of these things

That's a lot better design than my cheapy version (though hasn't failed yet)
