you sure you're not wanting chain tensioners in there. your wheel will move without them...

the only chain tentioners i have right now are 14 mm bmx ones that dont fit. do they make 10 mm ones?

ps. what do you think i could get for a 2004 p.1 frame with standard wear

Surly makes a chain tensioner that will fit a 10mm axle. Nice bike, I really like the looks of it. Looks quite a bit better than the first runs of T.O.Ps.

Sweet. That looks nice. I just bought some Juicy 5's for my P.1 and they look awesome. You should get some for you new whip. They are all black and look soo sweet.

I like the white and green.

Any shop with some BMX stuff will have 10mm axle chain tensioners.

You can run the 14mm tensioners, they work fine.

Sick bike dude!

Mainly because some tall people have problems riding small bikes like that, like myself.

Did I tell you I love that green and white. Nice choice.

Looks good! I think a Pike would be prime on there. I'm drooling thinking about it right now.

Dude, tell me about it. My life savings of 3k has turned into a whopping 20 bucks. :ouch:

Oh well.

i'm a little late to the game here, but i just thought i'd mention that chain tensioners are more luxury (pain in the neck) than neccesity. Luxury, because they allow you to dial in chain tension nicely; pain in the neck because the setscrews have a habit of going to ****s; neccesity hardly, because your axle should not move if properly tightened. If your wheel is shifting i suggest a washer on each side to help in torqueing up the nuts and everything should be peachy.
