DMR 10mm Chain Tugs

Didn't fit on the intended frame. But they did fit on another bike that could use them. Seem well built and did their job as they were supposed to.

Clearance may be an issue on some bikes.

These tugs are great for using a quick release hub in a singlespeed frame because the tabs reach deep enough to secure the end of the hub axle and not just the QR skewer like some brands. The hardware feels solid and has worked well so far with no slipping.

As noted by others you can't run your hub close to the front of the track end without modifying the front tab

Like others I used a hack saw to remove the front tab that slides into the drop out. Now I am able to get full range in the drop from slammed to the end. Besides the modification they have worked great. Are on my commuter after 1400 miles and still going without the wheel ever slipping

Pros: Keep axle in place

Cons: Will have to remove front tab to get the axle slammed in the drop out

Pretty good. A little pricey for what they are. They work and install fine.
One issue to be aware of. If you run the hub bolts near or flush with the front of the dropout, these won't work. The internal groove runs the whole length of the washer and is almost square at the end. If your frame has rounded dropouts you will need to set the axle back at least 1/2" from the front of the dropout. Or about 1/4" if it's squared.

Worked on my Black Market Riot

Had to cut off/file the front of the tab that fits in the dropout slot to slam my wheel. But after that, one tug on the drive side keeps my axle from slipping. Looks clean. Perfect.

Pros: No wheel slippage.

Cons: Needed modified to work on short dropouts.
