though you pull the wheel back, it tends to slowly slip forward, thus loosening your chain.
this tensioner keeps your wheel pulled back so that your chain stays tight and you don't have to repeatedly pull your wheel back every time your chain slacks and your wheel slips forward slightly....
am I right tristoo?
