Tuggnut/tensioners in Vancouver?
Hi -- posted this in regional forums, but it doesn't seem to be getting any replies. Where in Vancouver, BC would I find a Surly Tuggnut or other chain tensioner? I'm not sure if some tensioners are better than others, so I suppose suggestions would be welcome if the Tuggnut is really the wrong way to go.
And, while I'm at it, anyone know of a place that has a supply of Powergrips? Not a toeclip fan, and I don't want to wear my clipless shoes all the time.
Thanks in advance.

Surly dealers:
Dream
Mighty Riders
You might also want to try Super Champion.
An alternative to the tuggnut would be any bmx tensioner; get it from a place like Ride On.

I'd try Mighty Riders.
If they don't have them, they can order. For stuff like that I found them to be really good.

In case anyone is keeping track, I found both the Tuggnut and Power Grips at Dream Cycle. Nice guys, too.
