Origin8Chain Tension Adjuster

Q: Will these work on a semi-horizontal drop out? Or a front load horizontal dropout?

So far as I could tell, they didn't work in ANY dropouts. The walls are too narrow to fit over aluminum dropouts - the threads are too short to fit most dropouts - when you COULD get the darned things on, the curve on the back of the dropout wanted to slant the back "cups" so that the axle wouldn't pull in the direction you wanted. In short, this seemed like a good idea but in practice just didn't work. Save your money.

Q: do they have this for 18mm axles ?

If you have an aluminum frame (e-bike or not), then the slots in the frame pieces are too narrow to fit over your frame. If you have a steel frame with slotted axle dropouts, the frame pieces will fit - BUT if the "back" of the dropout is curved, these will not stay in the correct position, but will travel along the curve, losing their ability to tension the axle properly. Also, if your slotted axle dropout is very long, the threads are NOT long enough to reach the backs of the dropouts - so the tensioners are useless anyway. These tensioners have such a multitude of design flaws that they are highly unlikely to do what they are intended to do. Don't waste your money.

Q: Ok kinda a dumb question but my bolt is 5/8 but the axle is about 3/8. It will still work right?
