The OP's query is an interesting one though...When is it advisable to use a chain tensioning adjuster device on the rear dropouts/trackends of a single speed bike...(not fixed gear)? Is the general assumption that good quality QR skewers and bolt-on's alike are both strong enough to really keep the tension of the chain correct? I remember seeing someone's Simpleone on this list who used the MKS adjusters in the dropouts. I tried something similar with my QB/SO when adding an Origin8 derailleur hanger/tension adjuster to make it a multispeed bike but I found that since the dropouts aren't horizontal and are pitched up at an angle, the whole thing didn't work out all that well for that application.
