Gift Selection Surly Singleator Chain Tensioner

The Singleator

Midwest singlespeed legend Pete Geigle developed the 1×1 Singleator so you singlespeed virgins could taste the pure mountain biking experience without spending too much cash.

Installing horizontal dropouts on your frame can be difficult and/or expensive, particularly if your steed is of the aluminum variety. The Singleator mounts right up to your derailleur hanger and provides a simple, effective, and adjustable means of tensioning the excess chain slack found in vertical dropout singlespeed drivetrains.

The Singleator features a triplesealed spring, large cog capacity, chain guides, fullyadjustable chain line, floating pulley, and a stainless steel pivot bushing. The main body is forged, so its strong. Weve gone with an tooth pulley for smooth, quiet operation. And, it now works with both 1/8″ (BMX) and 3/32″ (geared bikes) chains. Beware impostors; the Singleator is the granddaddy and outperforms all others.
