how i tension the chain: wedge my hand in between the wheel and the seat tube to push the wheel back. Get your hand as far down as you can bear without hurting yourself. Some frames have less clearance than others, so your hand may have to rest higher on the seat tube, but same idea. When the chain is firm and wheel is centered, lock down the lugs w. your free hand. Easy.
