newbie chain tensioner conversion question
#3
First, the idea behind a chain tensioner is to keep a wheel from moving horizontally. With vertical dropouts, like yours, a wheel cannot move horizontally and so a chain tensioner is not necessary.
If your asking about using a hanger that takes up the excess tension in a chain on a singlespeed, then Straws is correct, you can only use that on a singlespeed. If you put it on fixed gear bike the hanger would break almost immediately.
