And for the record, if I did this and it failed in a spectacular fashion, you can bet your sweet heiny I'll be back on here with pics. I might even mention how much it hurt.
ok, you are right. go for it!
I did think it was helpful actually.
seriously, if you are going to make the thing urself then it might work. I actually thought you were referring to a surly type tensioner. now realize I wasn't paying attention.
that said, IMNSHO your efforts would be better spent learning to build wheels and making yourself a nice inexpensive rear wheel that you can swap from one beater to another as you grow tired of them/break them etc. A sun cr18 rim, formula hub, and DT spokes won't hurt your pockets too much.
and FYI I don't think reynolds ever made 531 stays. and you did ask for someone to call you stupid. also let us know where this dumpster full of reynolds 531 frames is...
