Chain tensioner for surly crosscheck?
I initially thought tensioners were only for frames with track ends until I saw a tuggnut used on a crosscheck. I'd like a recommendation for a good chain tensioner, non tuggnut (something less flashy). Any recommendations?

MKS chain tensioner
Why do you feel you need one though? The Crosscheck has horizontal dropouts, so the axle is held in place and the chain is tensioned by the weight of the frame. A chain tensioner will actually pull the chain out of tension on horizontal dropouts, right?
