It's how I bought it and I only had issues post-crash. I will be replacing the skewer because the fucker's bent anyway - I had to hammer it out. With any luck the fuckstains that don't maintain the roads will be paying for its replacement. Other than the obvious Shimano being better, why are closed cams grippier? engages physics nodding mode

White Industries are lovely Halo Clickster are cheaper and still pretty good plus they work fine with a 6-7-8 speed chain. I've run one for years.
Secondly the first step you should've taken to solve the wheel slipping was to replace that god awful open cam QR you have on the rear wheel. Get a decent Shimano (or similar) closed cam QR and 9 times out of 10 you won't need a chain tug/tensioner.
Also as ppl said Shimano > Hayes. Even Deore would be better in my experience.
