Lol ,yes its looks that way although I'd never think to or indeed have ever searched through someone's posts to highlight such a fact .But I can see how it looks .Basically I've invested a great deal of hard earned into this build and as my background is primarily mtb I don't have great deal of experiace with SS builds apart from an On One inbread I built a few years ago .I didn't want to fall fowl of my rear wheel slipping and marking up my new and rather expensive frame as well as any other issues that an out of line wheel might cause simply because I had not bothered to fit a chain tug. Imitadly I should of started this thread before buying the MKS chain tensioner that ended up being the wrong size anyway ,which would of saved myself £30 .And so before I spent another £30 I decided to see what others on here thought of tugs and if they were really necessary .Which it appears there not ,so I'm left with a pair to sell and can push forward with the final jobs to complete this bike .
Cheers
