You don't need a chain tug (a tea towel or tennis ball is apt) but any cheap chain tug will do such as the DMR one.

Thanks Ed. I know I don't 'need' one but it's handy to have so I can just give it a quick tighten if I notice it's too slack on the way to work or whatever. Do they all fit the Steamroller dropouts do you know?

How tight does the chain need to be? I've not really done much urban riding on a fixed gear, mostly on the track or round where I am there are no traffic lights, quiet roads and I barely ever have to stop to be honest.
I've always run a bit of track slack and not had any problems, is it a safety thing for when you have to slam the anchors on or something?

Anyone got any subtle alternatives to the Surly Tuggnut for a Steamroller? I don't really want a bottle opener hanging off the back of my bike to be honest!
