Have used but not in mud. I'd avoid external tensioners if possible.
Any chance of magic gear with half link or grinding dropouts or something?

In my experience, it copes better than a derailleur. Works fine in the mud, but can still get the occasional bit of undergrowth stuck in it.

Could look out for an excentrikiser (or however it's spelled) bottom bracket adaptor.
I used one for running a geared softride frame as a fixed. Unfortunately the constant back /forth pressure of brakeless fixed caused the occasional readjustment to be necessary... But on single speed it would work well. -
If you can get it to push your chain upwards, so it's compact with the chainstay and increases chainwrap around the sprocket, you should be fine.

Can't remember if I asked but anyone used a singulator - any good for serious mud? Curtis returning from respray and tempted to go single speed but vertical drop outs and standard bb.
