[Closed] Chain tugs

Advice needed.
I've recently changed the gearing on my SS scandal and fitted a new chain. The new gearing runs the rear axle closer to the end of the slot drop outs so the chain tug i was using (a DMR one) is useless this close, originaly the axle was closer to the BB and it all worked lovely.
I did the QR extra tight and thought it'd be ok. After 4 days of use I noticed the wheel coming out of alignment so obviously I need a tug in place.
Do the on-one ones pull that far back? or are there any others I should be considering? I dont want to have to knock something together to do the job but will if I have to.

Cheers for any input.

Loose a link out of the chain?

Too tight, although if the chain stretches a touch I could.

Even if you use a half link?

I also run DMRs and have to half link the chain.

Surly tugnut has two holes in it to allow you to pull the whole length of the trackend.
