so I went out and bought a used Megamo mod to get back into trials after about a three year hiatus from riding

got it all together but I can't seem to get the chain tension set. I'll set it where I want it, tighten the hub bolts to the point where I'm afraid they're going to strip, it all seems ok. Then after a couple minutes of riding the chain is slapping on the chainstay on the smallest bump. Reset the rear wheel and same thing

now I know some people use chain tensioners on mods but from what I remember you can get away without them, as I assume the person that I bought it off did. Any tips?

I use a normal snail tensioner. I love them. So simple, and so cheap.
