I was just wonderin cause I think the cannondale chase 4 has verticle. I dont know nothing about them or how you get a chain tensioner for that.

As Snaky mentioned (and I in the past) the Chase 4 has an eccentric BB. The BB rotates in a shell thus you can adjust the chain tension. That's why they can run SS with vertical dropouts and no tensioner.

If you run horizontal dropouts and like to do rear wheel tricks, make sure you use a decent axle-tug type tensioner and true track nuts (not the cheap serrated flange nuts).
