Yes I did.
That's a bad idea - tensioners ( I hope you have the ones that pull the axle back in mind) can not stand the pull of the chain they are great for setting initial tension. Fix the nuts, instead.
My dropouts have little metal plates around them for the nuts to grab on to. Problem is, the nuts have gouged into them and want to rest only in that one spot. I have another Langster frame, I'll just switch them out but I'll be clueless the next time it happens.
If I decide on chain tensioners, it will be the ones that hold the wheel backwards. I'm just out of ideas on the bike. The drive train is original except for the chain so I'll start there.
The chain is making a "popping" sound. If I stop pedaling and then pedal again, it goes away... then comes back. It's coming from my freewheel.
The only fix I have is the volume button on my mp3 players.
