Matching Zip Ties Bike is looking good

Well, I ran into a little problem https://prnt.sc/te1vsy The arch idler pulley pulls the chain out too far.
I tried to shim the pulley in with spacers but it made it too long ( 1 1/2 inches longer than the original bolt ) for my comfort.
So I ordered a different style of chain idler pulley

Which tensioner did you order? I’m kind a curious to see.

I don't like these spoke killers .... but I had to go with this one to made it work... https://prnt.sc/te4acj

Just put a wrench under the area that is offensive and stand on each end, that'll bend it back to the wheel.

The frame tubes are too fat to get it closer

Total miles and I did my regular maintenance today and NOT one single bolt needed to be retorqued

Sorry, but I have to call BS on that. That bracket is so long you can easily bend it in near the chain and in the right spot too so the idler sits square. I made my own bracket out of an alternator bracket I had left over from spitty rebuild, https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g4049 and it was the same way, fat tubes, so I just bent it in and that bracket is a lot heavier than the bike one you have.

Well, If you bought a REAL arch idler bar, You'd know they are thick and can't be bent easily.
Plus when I do stuff........ I do it the right way and I never cobble s**t together.
