I need some guidence from those who know. That means you people of this venerable forum :>)

I commute on an Azonic DS1 (horizontal drop-outs) using a Shimano style cassete hub (disc) with spacers and BMX cog. To my eye the chainline is straight. The rear hub has a QR axle, and I have Redline chain tensioners. The front chainring is a 32t Salsa ss ring.

I having difficulty keeping the chain tight. I am thinking of micro adjusting the chain lenght using half links since it's the least expensive solution. What do you think of this? How do you get the chain on when it is at maximum tension? What am I missing?

Thanks

Kevin
