[Closed] What chain tugs for a 456 carbon singlespeed?

Read something on the onone website that the normal chain tugs for their swap outs don't fit the carbon 456.

Is anyone using chain tugs on a singlespeed 456? If so what?

I was about to ham-fistedly plough in with a recomendation to use a solid-nutted axle instead, but probably not wise on a carbon frame.

takisawa2: it has aluminium swap outs so bolt up would be fine.

mtbtomo: Is it possible to run a chain tug on the inside of the drop out instead?

Just spotted these as DMR have swapouts too: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?PartnerID=79&ModelID=216

Cheers, had a look at the DMR ones and will probably go with them.

Can't use a nutted axle cos I don't want to change the hub and I don't think they do nutted axles for Supperleggera hubs?

Does any one have a problem using QR's on singlespeed slotted drop outs or will they slip without a chain tug?

if you use shimano QRs you should be alright. All others I would use a chaintug.
