Can someone explain this to me?
https://www.pedalmafia.com/bike_ups_img/117_1.htmlThat bike has vertical dropouts..I thought horizontal were needed for chain tension?

with this

or using a "magic ratio"
meaning that a few cog/chainring combos can work on any given bike with vertical dropouts, but when the chain stretches at all you're ****ed and need to run a tensioner

Judging by the allen bolts, I'm gonna say it's an ENO hub.

I may be wrong on this one but isnt a half link standard kit if your runing a magic gear unless you want putting on you wheel a total pain in the @$$

I think you're thinking of a 'master link' or 'quick link'. A half link isn't magic ... it just makes your chain a little longer. Some magic ratios need them, some don't.
And that is definitely an Eno. Off-center wheel and the allen bolts are good giveaways.
