You just use one yeah? Drive side?

I am a bit naive with regards to these things. I understand that there purpose is to keep your chain under a consistent tension. Should I use them? I just pull the wheel back nice and tight and lock up the wheel nuts but I've noticed whilst track standing/setting off from static there is a fair bit of play. It's a new bike new chain so just wondered really? Do any of you use them? What is the correct amount of tension to have on your chain riding fixed wheel?
Many thanks for any advice.

'Sano One thing, I'll bet whoever buys OTP soon starts looking to upgrade it - like you have, Rigadon - or to build a second bike :p
It's all good, it's all riding bikes...'
Well said. I think you are right for what its worth I have five bikes. I will probably look to upgade the wheels on it next but out of the box it suits me fine. Its mass produced but I like compact geometry and I like it which is the main thing. The thought of building up an old 50's frame is not my cup of tea but hey I respect anyone who is interested enough to get out there and ride a bike, whatever bike that is, even if its a sloping top tube langster!
Cheers

''off the peggers lack character especially the Langster.it seems to solve the problem specialized just copy a stereotype.i like bikes with an individual character...hippy managed it with a Langster so it must be possible.''

Its a really deep mettalic green, like BRG its actually quite nice. I put some red tyres, bottle cage, on it to make it mine. I really like it. Its never going on a track and I only use it for a commute/training so it ticks all my boxes. Its really light too. I was thinking red bar tape maybe thats overkill though?
Excellent, thanks!
