For a while I had a Shimano Nexus hub on my AHH and needed a chain tensioner. I tried the Shimano tensioner and, for some that reason that I can no longer remember, it did not work and I had to return it. I think it had something to do with the spacing. I then tried the Surly with great success and later used another Surly on a SS project bike that I built.
