I had quite a bit of trouble getting my stock chain tesioner to work properly,so,I ended up finishing the build without one. Aside from the problems getting both chains to the same tightness (ended up removing a link from the pedal side) it has been trouble-free since.
I heard someone mention a spring loaded tensioner,and was intrigued by that idea.
As I was looking around my garage,I began to wonder if there might be some way to fashion a spring loaded tensioner,using parts from a derailer,after all,one of it's functions is to maintain chain tension.
Have any of you tried this? If so what were your results,and can you offer me any advice to avoid some of the problems you may have had?
