Am I just asking for problems if I mount the tensioner on the top of the chain like this? Remember this is my first attempt so don't rip me to bad I got a half link on the way and maybe a sexing wheel for the tensioner.
Is the arch tension not parallel with the chain? If so twist the arch tensioner with a couple crescent wrenches, with it bolted to the bike in the location wanted. Probably take a couple 10" or 12" crescents.Thank you. Is there a trick to get the arch tensioner straight? I've messed with it for a couple hour's already with washers and no washers. This is the setup that keeps the chainline the straightest so far.
So I got this now. My half link gets here Friday so I'll see how big a difference that makes. I put a internal geared hub on my mid drive e bike and blew through two cheap tensioners in a week, I put a half link on that with no tensioner and it's been awesome for over a hundred miles this week.Is the arch tension not parallel with the chain?
