[QUOTE=vélo libre;948854]the "walking method" check sheldon's website, basically involves, having one track nut tight, pulling the wheel to one side, tighten that side, loosen other side, pull that way. in this way the wheel "walks" in the dropout, enabling perfect tension. when in correct place, make sure wheel is centred and just tighten the nuts down.
Cheers I'll give it a go, I've tried the pulling back wheel pushing frame forward technique but always left with a little slack.
Are there any chain tensioners that'll go on a front loading dropout?
