Only ******s get stabbed with their bars.
How'd that feel?
For what it's worth, I ran chain tensioners when the family was racing BMX. They were actually built into my wife's cruiser. When you're maintaining 4 race bikes that are being raced 4 times a week, and tear everything down at least once a week, you do whatever you can to make your maintenance easier.
