I'd like to use my Fulcrum CX7 wheels on a Single Speed Cross bike with semi horizontal drop outs (like a cross check). I'm having a hard time securing the rear wheel (Std quick release) well enough for bunny hops and rougher stuff. A few questions for those with more knowlage and experience than me...
1. Is the Surly Hurdy Gurdy chain tensioner really in production? It's in the Surly Catalog and on their site, but no one seems to carry them.
2. Will a DT Swiss RWS Skewer do the trick instead - it looks like a standard QR skewer, but apparently is a ratcheting nut.
Thanks - worst case, I can just crank down the standard QR, but would prefer a stronger and simpler solution.
