It seems everything has already been invented, because after i made a simple modification to the right hand side chain tensioner, i come across flanged (ball bearing) idler wheel options for the SBP R.H.S chain tensioner.
I wouldn't have bothered solving the problem myself if knowing about Teracycle flanged idler wheels which also have an added design benefit by being fitted with a captive chain bar to prevent the chain from moving past the extremities of the sprocket flanges.
The right hand side chain tensioner will now be modified to take a much better looking (professionally presented) Teracycle idler wheel.
My attempt is a poor imitation of a properly designed product.
