Is the tensioner in the link the right one for a hub gear?http://www.bike-discount.de/fr/acheter/shimano-alfine-chain-tensioner-ct-s500-black-62391
Chain tensionner bolts on to your derailleur hanger, also works with nexus 8 inter.
Sprockets are quite cheap I will buy a selection between 16-22 and experiment till I find the right one.
My retro-fitted Shimano one fits over the hub's axle and is secured by the dome nut.
It also has only one cog, which is all you need.
In the pic, the chain runs over the cog, but it also works running under it.
