This tensioner makes contact with the nut. With this dropout it is extremely secure and for the most part better than if it just touched the axle.

Rememer the tensioner is only so your wheel does not move..

Yesterday Kareem from Death pedal jumped an 8ft drop on this bike. Only issue during landing he had was when his seat post snapped in half. Frame and all other parts were fine.
