I got taught a method by an old bloke who's been riding fixed since gad was a lad, he said to loosen both side of the hub, pull the chain side back as far as you hand can stand and tighten the nut on that side, this will have pulled your wheel out of line. Then pulling the wheel into line will add a little more tension to the chain. Just the right amount so far as i can see. Hope this helps. If anyone has any reasons this will kill my bike, please tell me before it does.
