There! YOU said it! TRACK chainring!!
I had the same problem coz I bought a cheap ring (TA from Condor) and I got the tight/loose/tight thing happening.
Changed my ring for a Miche one (2nd hand and well used) and the problem disappeared completely.
I tried two different rings from condor, and the gy tried to convince me it was my chain . . . .duh!
So, to sum up. Get the best track ring you can afford, slapp it on the best track cranks you can afford, and enjoy perfect chain tension on your bike.
