Finally finished my single speed winter project. Stoked on how it turned out. I ended up using a frame w/ vertical dropouts and by sheer coincidence, when I put the wheel in the dropouts last night, it fit perfect w/ totally snug chain tension--no half links, no singulator, etc. But the chain is definitely tight, very little if any play. My question is, is there any disadvantage to having this much tension on the chain? Again, the wheel fits perfectly in the drop outs and she purs like a kitten when I pedal it.
