Bit of luck and a bit of destruction ;) Lined up a new 10 speed chain, turned out it was just shy of fitting perfectly, so i filed the dropouts. lol.
The 10 speed ended up breaking, but i think that was because it was a bit narrow for the chainring, so an outer plate popped off. Im going to buy a qual 8 speed chain once this gets here.
I agree, i try to avoid chain tensioners. Using half links is really nice, but it requires an 1/8" chain, and i hate running a wide chain on a narrow chainring :/
