Chain Tugs

any monkies use chain tugs on their bikes with horizontal dropouts? i have 1 of the spot rocketship tentioners, but its all i can fit on my bike. i think i need a wider axel to run two of them. do they help secure the wheel that much more than just a regualr QR? i'm afraid of the axel slipping when doing a drop or hopping around on the rear wheel, anyone heard of this happening?

I just ran one tensioner on my 1x1, on the drive side, but that was a trail rig. I never had any trouble with it, but I'm not sure if hopping on the back wheel will make a difference. Regardless, there's a lot of tensioners out there in the BMX world that work perfectly well, and I bet many of them are thinner than your Rocket.
