Be VERY carful if you screw through the frame ive seen a chain stay snap in two b/c it was drilled through! .duh.
Must clarify, it is not drilled in the frame, it is a set screw threaded into the tensioner. It's not a good solution if you are afraid of scratches on the frame

Otherwise, there are many good tensioners to buy from the different advertisers on the forum

or use the one that comes with the kit, and hope it works .duh.

i just used an old tire tube, cut it to length and put it on before the chain idler.
works well. i glued mine onto the frame and it doesnt seem to move at all once the bolts on the idler are hit with some loc- tite. worked for me.
