There is definitely enough room to pull the wheel back and get sufficient tension on the chain as it is, but because the chaintug wasn't sitting against the back of the dropouts I thought that there was a problem. I'll gladly get rid of the chaintug if I don't need one (one less thing to give me hassle), but I was under the impression that running without one was problematic.
