isitafox Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 The standard ones are generally pretty crappy and break very easily. Try a set of Gusset tugs, they should hold up a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanStahl Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) The retaining nut contained a plastic ring for friction on my old Zoot. This ring may have lost material. Else seating torque on the wheel axle nuts may be not sufficient, or the ribbing on the nut or on the washer between hub and frame may have worn out. Some grease may also be on it somewhere, or brake fluid I see you ride trendy, or whatever. Semen perhaps.

ogre Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 its the shit chain tugs they sell it with. they deform. you need beefier ones, ideally where the main body of the tentioner is a single piece (thread and 'loop' for the axle to go in) not joined together as parts.

MadManMike Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Haha, yeah definitely Semen. That solves most problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanStahl Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Any self-respecting trials rider should clean his bike of semen residuum. Besides that, the Zoot's chain tugs were CRAP. I destroyed them on a weekly basis, mostly due to riding very smooth echo axle washers. But there are BMX alternatives - however, I really can't understand why they don't use the design of the pro frame on it. It is the big downside of the Zoot frame, otherwise I was happy with it for over two years of riding. On the other hand, I usually don't put much stress onto frames, so Zootbreaking was never an issue for me. I prefer to abuse (molest?) chains and freewheels instead.
