I have finally been able to remove the chain tensioner on my 20" folding conversion with the use of a brake post extender from Elevn (?http://www.bmxracinggroup.com/new-items-from-elevn-racing/)

Prior to this the brake pads couldn't reach the rim unless the axle was fully seated in the dropout.

Here's a photo:

Here's what it looks like on my bike. It took a bit of filing of the brake pad mount to clear the post extension:

So now my drivetrain looks like...?

I can finally easily adjust my brakes, and wheel removal/mounting is now a cinch.

From what I understand

From what I understand looking around the net you can also use a thin 700c wheel in place of a 26" if you can get the brakes to work. those adapters flipped the other way might just give you the reach you need for that mod. I'm certainly going to keep this in mind for myself.
