I thought you had a Vulture, with EBB. Guess not. Is this for a different rig than you had at BC this fall?
Since I just started SSing just before BC, and I have a EBB, I have no solid info for you specific to tuggs; BUT in general, you want to pull the wheel (or BB, if it's an EBB one has) to the point of tension such that you can push the chain down with your finger pressing moderately from above about 1/2" vertically when in the "tight" part of your chainring rotation. This assumes that the wheel is firmly fastened and all the other parts are too. Please note that there are very few (if any) truly round chainring/crankarm/BB combinations in existence. You will have to experiment to find this spot.
Good luck, and feel free to PM me if you have any further questions on this .

Yup I do have a Vulture, w EBB. Pretty much set it & forget it. Happy. And yup, I had the Vulture at BC this fall.
My question regards a different bike, w horiz drops & chaintugs. Haven't quite gotten the hang of that system, yet. Or maybe I just need to get used to it.
You are the BIG WINNAH! No lockring needed.
Freewheels are self tightening. I like to use anti-sieze (1st choice, available at auto parts stores) or grease on the threads so it comes back off later.
