Rear sprockets aren't as eccentric as cranksets, but they're not perfect either, especially low end Single freewheels. Other than cosmetic concerns over droopy chains, I've never seen a SS bike that was so bad it was a mechanical problem. Just remember to leave a bit of slack at the tightest point.
