| Ever since I started riding I have been putting things in the gap |
| between the axle and the dropouts to stop the wheel moving |
| forward and the chain getting looser. An old axle cut in half or a |
| ball from the unsealed BB bearings would do the job in most |
| cases. |
| Now we have spent some more time developing the idea, and |
| have come up with these washers that work as axle blockers. |
| These are the first prototypes, and the team has been testing them |
| since June. So far things seem to work fine, and the blockers are |
| doing the job. |
| The black washers on the picture are the current prototypes, and |
| the idea is rather simple (no pun intented). You find the right size |
| to fill out the gap in the slot between the axle and the end of the |
| dropout, and this will work in the same way as if you slammed |
| your wheel all the way forward. You chain can not get loose. |
| You will get a complete kit that covers pretty much all modern |
| bike setups, and simply just choose the size needed for your bike. |
| The middle drawing is the next version, which is smaller, and |
| which will have 2 options to lower production cost... Stay tuned! |
