This is my 2008 Raleigh One Way. She’s my “go to” bike, simple and sweet. Stock with a few add ons:

What is the chain tensioner for? I thought the One-Way was already a SS/FG bike. Aren’t tensioners for conversions?
Chain tensioners like the Tugnut adjust the forward/backward position of the axle in track ends (ie, horizontal ‘dropouts’). Not to be confused with a hanging, derailleur-style tensioner that you would find on a converted bike with vertical dropouts.
Surly calls it a chain tensioner, but I’ve seen them called axle tensioners elsewhere, mostly to avoid the confusion I guess.
Oh yeah, and the bike is absolutely beautiful. I love that color scheme. The Cross Check had a metallic green a few years back. I’ve searched high and low for a used one in a 52cm to no avail.

The Surly Tuggnut is actually a safety device that keeps the rear wheel from slipping forward when you’re really “standin’ on it”. The “08 One Way has rear facing dropouts or track ends as some call it. The wheel has to slide forward to remove the chain but the tensioner prevents it from slipping while climbing, etc.. Thanks for your interest, Jeff
Oh, ToddBS beat me to it! and thanks for the complement Todd.
Sweet. Very sweet. Nice job on the build.

@ Surly John
Thanks John, I can’t take much credit on the build but I too appreciate the job Raleigh did on this one. Jeff
@Jeff
I realized after I posted that is pretty stock but it LOOKS lilke a custom build and you have personalized it nicely with the accessories. Ride that bike!
