Sandy, which chain tensioner ended up working best for you in the end? My next build will be with a vertical dropout frame.
UNLESS; Is there anything wrong with having a derailleur on the bike? Obvs I will only have one chainring, but if I could put a cassette on the back it will make the build, and my life on it as a commuter/polo hack, a lot easier.
After breaking 2 sprung tensioners by trying to get too much tension... I got a DMR fixed tensioner. Works great, although you have to remove it before taking a wheel off.It can push up or down.
