But tensioners work fine for SS mtb conversions ... I've used one before myself, and given it a pretty hard time - never dropped the chain.
Mine occasionally slips when really giving it the beans going up steep bits. Once it slips on a ride it'll keep doing it until I retighten it, which isn't really feasible in a cross race.
