I think most tensioners can be bodged to work somehow.
+1.

I'm using two tensioners that look similar to this, but with only one hole.



They took no physical modding to make fit, but it's definitely a squeeze. It's like the planets aligned and it magically worked. For most scenarios there probably would be some chain link adding/removing or some dremel action.

The non-drive side tensioner doesn't do much of anything, I think, but it helps space the skewer. The drive side tensioner is doing all the work. Positioning these things on horizontal drops takes creativing, maybe even butchering up the drops. I got mine to sit between the hole (I guess it's designed for a derailleur or rack?) and the most curved part of the drop.

Ja ne,
