looks like you should be able to ditch the tensioner
no offense but you're having a new problem every day. get some more experience before you sell anything to anyone again

turn the tensioner so the long part is inside (reverse roller to do this) - for skinny stays, I cut an inch or so of old handlebar & split it into 2 "c" sections to pack under the tensioner - if heavy tightening is needed, replace the 2 4.8 bolts with 2 10.9 bolts & nuts

Thank god you are not selling this bike. We don't want to rehash the last attempt when you sold a bike.

no..the chain link was on correct..the sprocket was a maniac sprocket ..was nothing i did wrong. I have been reading online and busting chains is pretty common. Most people upgrade the chain. These bikes are nightmares

Yes they are, and you are still quite happy to sell them to someone else.

not so oh masterlinkbreath!
been fixing hundreds of bikes for years now & in all that time, the only chain that broke was one on a bike that had a bent tooth on the drive sprocket that I didn't see at first - every other bike has never broken or thrown a chain
