I know that it shouldn't be creeping forward, but it did and I cannot have it happen again. The whole reasoning behind getting the SS in the first place was to have a dependable bike. I feel that a tug would do just that as well as give me the ability to make my wheel 100% perfect in tension and centering (as opposed to what a new-to-horizontal-trackends rider can do).

Yep, I do it one side at a time. I pull it to where it should be, centered and tensioned. Then I tighten down the non-drive side. After that, I pull back and tighten the drive side and make sure everything is centered and the chain is tensioned.
