And you don't have to worry about the lockring because the chain only pulls in one direction.

true. a lockring wouldn't even fit when using a bmx freewheel anyway, freewheels are too wide and extend out over the lockring threads.

As for good tensioners, My friend George's company Rennen (http://www.rennendesigngroup.com) makes the rollenlager bolt on tensioner that uses no springs. Uses the QR or axle as a pivot and adjusts tension with a second bolt through the der. henger. I think a few other companies are making knock-offs of this basic design now too.

The Shodow Conspiracy, a bmx company, makes a super strong (and heavy) all half link chain. KMC makes a lighter version called the "pintle", but i don't know how durable it is.
