This is not my experience. I have a bike with a campy record crank, phil wood bottom bracket, phil wood hub and it is the worst I have in terms of inconsistent chain tension.

My bikes that have a bolt on cog allow for centering of the cog and these bikes have the most consistent chain tension I have ever seen.

My point? You need to be able to center the chainring and cog to get chain tension to be consistent in my experience.
