I have this tensioner and had the same issue. Sorted by fitting a half link to shorten the chain and get more wrap around the rear sprocket.

eyyy, that's really good to know! Thanks... so I'm definitely going to go for maximum wrap and try to make this set up a bit more oaf-proof.

The tensioner is chunkier than I was expecting - unscientific holding-in-the-hand method says it weighs more than the DA7800 RD it replaced, too. Hopefully it can be tweaked for a more 'fit and forget' operation.

I don't know if just removing the spring will allow it to be fixed in the push position. Mine rotated freely around the pivot so there was no way to fix it in place, just the spring forcing it downwards. I didn't look that far into it though.
