why dont u just take it off completely and put a different sized sproket on the peddeling side of the wheel to change the tension of the peddeling chain to match the drive chain.
Bird, personally, I think that would be a "hit or miss" type of thing, involve a lot of work, and has the potential to never come out right, i.e. is two additional teeth too much, or too little?
its actually pretty easy if you have the right parts.
your coaster break sproket might have an even number of teeth on it and your chains dont have equal tension on them, take the coaster break sproket and replace it with a sproket with an odd number of teeth then take your chain and break it to the correct length and both of your chains will be even.
it sounds kinda confusing but keep in mind if you have a sproket with an even number of teeth you have to change to an odd and if you have a sproket with and odd number of teeth you have to change to an even or your just making the chain smaller and you will still have to much slack on once side and not enough on the other.
