Most bikes have some feature that is poorly thought out, and in situations like this (where the same frame is probably shared with a half-dozen models) there will always be compromises. But having to break the chain to fix a flat is unreasonable -- you need to work out another scheme. | |

| Jun 9, 2011 at 2:29 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | Dumb design, I'd say. I'd be tempted to add a couple more links to the chain, then space the axle farther out in the slots (I guess you can't call them "drop outs"). Wrench it down tight and the axle won't move. Pretty much SOP for cheap single speed bikes in the US. | |
